Sorry I want to say that the promote are not sexual ,interesting , beauty or simple.

They can not let me enjoy , image or know what is scala.

I means it's better if there are more beauty , interesting, and simple promote?

These let me image a us army poster , but it was War I.

I found the best  image of language is ruby which is simple, beauty and sexual.
It can make younger interested.

I think scala should not only try to interest experience developers but also new developers who maybe very young and want cool.

Ruby uses a ruby gemstone as a logo
Scala uses a staircase (=scala in Italian) as a logo
So both logos refer to the name.

I think the staircase logo also represents that you can learn scala
step by step from simple to advanced.
A ruby gemstone represents passion and power, it's the king of
gemstones.

Both logos represent what it stands for and are tightly connected to
the name.

My contribution is one I made at my work for a pull request:



Full disclosure: Having done all this I hate SBT only slightly less than I hate Maven.

I assume everybody knows the Lambdacats already, but if not, here they are:

Most of them are applicable to Scala, too.

The prose stylings of paulp are occasionally still to be found on scala-internals. I'm awaiting the paulp book on scala, over 1200 pages, with most of the text packed into a series of 593 footnotes.

Well ... taking it a bit more seriously. There seems to be interest by some leaders in JUGs "adopting a JSR".

Would it be reasonable for the "Scala community" to adopt a JEP/JSR we care about? E. g. better class file format/closures/tailcalls?

Scala in my eyes is transformers which is solid（typesafe,immutable）,variation(trait,currying) and powerful.
On the other hand, scala is hard to control and touch.

As a very new Scala programmer who considers himself a C++ person, I humbly recommend: "Get some JVM dignity by porting to Scala".

Think again.
class Foo {  int x = 4;  int y = 3;
  int getX() = {    return x;  }
  void setX(int x) = {     this.x = x;  }
  int getY() = {    return y;  }
  void setY(int y) = {     this.y = y;  }}
or consider a Guava lambda.  Those lines add up FAST!
Peace.  Michael
