Scala also adds several important and convenient constructs, such as:

- mixin composition with traits,
- first-class functions,
- case classes and pattern matching,
- XML expressions and patterns,
- virtual types,
- for-comprehensions,

I was looking at some of the Scala examples. One of the ways it
differs from Java is you don't have to keep defining the types of
every variable. It KNOWS what the type it is by the signature of the
method that defines the variable's initial value. This is a very good
thing. It makes code less brittle. If you change the signature of a
method, the local variables all automatically track the change.

It gets rid of most semicolons.

It seems pretty straight forward except for "def" which seems to have
many uses.
