Sure, it varies for the application, but the cookbook nature of it all leaves me with the thought that we are just the new generation of COBOL developers. They spent their days churning out one report after another, not very different from us Java guys. Of course, you could argue that it is true of any web app developer regardless of language.

In any case, Scala is awesome. Not only does it sport a full complement of modern OO and FP features, the features all go together cohesively. In the end, it is this cohesion that will give Scala staying power. Funny, I was just saying last week thatJava is not the new COBOL. In any case, Scala is awesome.
