Scala is a peculiar programming language in that it targets both JVM and the CLR. But what are the benefits? Is it worth considering it as a viable alternative to the F# language?
Most of the web search hits I see from "Scala .NET" are from 2008 or early 2009. Scala is an interesting language, but my admittedly-ill-informed impression is that is is not a "viable alternative" for an industrial-strength .NET application.
I see people talk in passing about writing apps that are portable across CLR and JVM, and it's a nice idea in theory, but in practice I don't see any evidence that anyone has done this for reals. (If people do know of examples, please post them.)
