Ok, here's the Hello World example from the Scala website: object HelloWorld { def main(args: Array[String]) = { Console.println("Hello, world!") } } Opening and closing braces? "def main(args: Array[String])"? Console.println? About the only Pythonic thing I can see here is the "def" keyword. Otherwise, it looks too much like Java - no, thanks! -- Paul -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
