Babel-17 v0.3 is out

What does this have to do with Scala and why should we debate this?

The language is very Scala-like from a syntax point of view. It is also purely functional, and I got the impression that many Scala people are interested in purely functional programming. So there is a chance that a fraction of the people on this mailing-list might be interested in this language.

It's not really meant to be debated here; you can do this better on the Babel-17 google group. It's more of an advertising email.

Hope that helps,

Steven

It can be debated whether this is related to Scala, hence the choice of list. ;-)

I don't mind the occasional announces of Steven, his language is interesting, even if I
just lack time to dig it.
