You use Scala IN Jetty?

 

I am interested if the Jetty team views Scala as a mature enough language to use for writing libraries such as Jetty server library.

We are running our production Jetty server with Scala apps, if that's what you're asking. And so do lots of people. 

If you're asking if Scala is mature enough to write libraries, such as an HTTP and servlet container like Jetty, then the answer is also yes. There are a handful of HTTP servers written in Scala, and tons of other libraries. Twitter and LinkedIn has lots of open-source libraries written in Scala, as do many other companies and individuals.

Scala is 10 years old now and quite mature, although there are some philosophical differences, compared to Java that you should be aware of, if going that route. Of primary concern is that Scala versions are typically not source nor binary compatible (except for revision changes, i.e. 2.9.0 to 2.9.1). This ensures faster evolution of the language, compared to Java, but can also be minor annoyance. No benefit without a cost.

I use Scala and Jetty. Although I don't see why anyone would care if Jetty itself was written, fully or partially, in Scala. Once compiled, it's all byte code.

Yair,

 

There are currently no plans for anything like that, though my understanding is that people have incorporated jetty into their scala projects successfully.

 

cheers,

Hi,

 

Are there any plans on writing some of jetty code in Scala?
