Is there a comparison between Scala and Google 'Go' language (feature by feature)?

I wonder if someone can produce a comparison between Scala and Google 'Go' language (feature by feature, like concurrency models, collections, etc.)?

Solution

  • Better compare it to C (or C++ or D).

    As far as I do understand the intent of this language is to replace C/C++ not Java/Scala (VM languages). Go has no exceptions, assertions, inheritance. This is only bearable for C programmers.

    I would like to see the new parts not present in other languages (or newly combined in Go). Especially how programs should be designed with the minimalistic type system.
