Scala and Java: A Quick Swing Comparison by Example

[wtd]

Well, you might have:

code:

foo "hello", "world"

Which is equivalent to:

code:

foo("hello", "world")

And that's all well and good, but...

code:

bar foo "hello", "world", "wooble"

Is this:

code:

bar(foo("hello"), "world", "wooble")

One thing that constructing the Swing comparisons in previous posts did make me envy from the Smalltalk side of things... Smalltalk's semi-colon.

Being able to easily send multiple messages to the same receiver without having to specify the receiver repeatedly.

that's why Obj-C's/Smalltalk's multi-part methods are soo cool! (but implementing that would mean "No Java Compatibility".

edit: wait.. OR.. define a tuple as (T, K, L, ...) then you could have the cake and eat it too where all java methods are methods with tuples.
