On: Why Java Developers Should Check Out Scala

[bearritto]

Half the people pushing Scala tout Scala's tooling ecosystem.

I use IntelliJ IDEA with the Scala plugin and you get code-complete and type aware tooling.

In fact every developer I know that writes production Scala code uses an IDE.

I have fuckall of a clue what an IDE has to do with Scala except for some sort of lifestyle statement.
