Just saw Josh Sueresh's talk posted on YouTube identifying "Effective Scala" (not a book, just a video) much of which is in his almost released book, "Scala in Depth". Awesome stuff!
In other news, Scala is quickly promoting from Trial to Adopt in the ThoughtWorks industry survey (item 98 in the image to the right). This is a HUGE deal in terms of future development, contract and job opportunities. I couldn't be happier to be riding this wave. It's going to be as good or better than even the Java wave I rode in 1998-2006. Yeeehaaa!

What draws me to Scala...
I just ran across this article, "Comparing Java and Scala’s Expressiveness". It so succinctly describes how I feel as I learn Scala. It's not just the reduced boilerplate. It's something about feeling like I am doing more real software engineering work as opposed to a huge amount of paperwork (boilerplate) with a tiny amount of actual software engineering!
