Hi Eivind! Great presentation! I knew nothing about Scala, now I do. Maybe you could elaborate a bit more on the java integration part, some more examples etc. Also an example of using scala objects from java. So scala- and java-source can reside within the same maven project, or would you recommend to separate the scala-code from java-code? I guess the source is not compiled with the same compiler, so circular dependencies (scala<->java) could get a problem? The slide about for-loops should maybe not be in the "Functional Programming" section, even though for-loops can be used purely functionally. The yield keyword is not explained. Best regards, Leif John Korshavn
