From the post:
Today was most awaited (by me) talk of Devoxx. Martin Odersky gave presentation and announced a new features in the Scala 2.10. I just want to quickly go through all of them:
1. New reflection framework – it looks very nice (see photo) and 100% Scala. No need for Java for reflection API in order to work with Scala classes anymore!
2. Reification – it would be limited
3. type Dynamic – something similar to .NET 3
4. IDE improvements
5. Faster builds
6. SIPs: string interpolation and simpler implicitsAt the moment it’s not clear whether mentioned SIPs would be really included in the release, but the chances are pretty high! So yes, we will finally get string interpolation!
Important for two reasons:
First, news about the upcoming features of Scala.
Second, we learn there is another expansion for SIPs. (I really didn’t plan it that way but it was nice how it worked out.)
