I am implementing GPS with Scala 2.9.1, and wanted to take a look at your solution, but the url seems to be locked.<br /><br />Ignacioignacio caseshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01149971951418209781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19725519.post-32000845254365036402007-09-25T03:29:00.000-04:002007-09-25T03:29:00.000-04:00One more language that I suggest you to look throu...One more language that I suggest you to look through is Nemerle (nemerle.org). It is .NET-based language, but I like it even more then Scala. First of all, I was very impressed with its macro system.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19725519.post-40364807041386381962007-09-16T18:24:00.000-04:002007-09-16T18:24:00.000-04:00Jon - I've been considering taking a look at both ...Jon - I've been considering taking a look at both those languages, but F# is not open source and for Linux/Unix would be dependent on Mono, which, not surprisingly, seems to always lag behind Microsoft's .NET implementation and not be completely compatible. I think what the Mono project has produced is very impressive, but I also think it will always be a behind the MS .NET runtime and libraries.<BR/><BR/>Quick perusal of the OCaml website leads me to believe that it doesn't have the breadth of libraries that I would like. One of the aspects of Lisp that frustrates me is that while there are tons of libraries out there for it, simply too many of them are in a pre-release state, neglected, or both. This seems to be common with "fringe" open source languages.<BR/><BR/>Scala gets around it by being Java compatible. I imagine F# is the same way with .NET. If .NET were as cross-platform as Java I would give F# a very close look, but as far as I can tell it is not.Erik Engbrechthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11174963559600768092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19725519.post-24405564816570563922007-09-15T12:08:00.000-04:002007-09-15T12:08:00.000-04:00Have you considered OCaml or F#?

Great post. I downloaded the Scala code and am looking it over.
