IntellliJ Scala plugin - excellent work !
Hello to everyone,
I've loved the Scala language since I saw it for the first time. Since I am the type of coder, who relies on assistance of IDE and who has been spoiled by IntelliJ for many years, jumping from Java to Scala was very hard.
In Scala, I did a small pet project In Sep 2009 and a bunch of testing scripts in Dec 2010, both using IntelliJ. I abandoned both mostly because of the lack of a full featured IDE.
Now, two weeks ago, I presented Scala to developers in our company in an informal learning session. I installed the Scala plugin and evaluated it for the third time. And I must say, I was very impressed !
The improvment is huge, type inference and code completion simply works and I felt almost as productive as in Java. The weekend, that I spent preparing example source codes for the presentation was an enjoyable one.
Let me say a big thanks to developers of the plugin, your work is very impressive.
A side note: I really love inspections in IntelliJ. I am confident to say, that they alone taught me to write a "clean" Java code and understand its necessity.
Scala plugin already has quite a few and I really hope, that with the help of community, the collection of Scala inspections will grow.
With regards,
Igor

Thank you for kind words. It's really inspiring to move on to make it much better than we have now.

I concur. I just recently starting learning and using Scala at my job and after using Visual Studio for the last 7 years I was worried I would be moving to an IDE I would dislike but I actually like IDEA quite a bit and love how the Scala plugin works with it. So many great features I don't know where to start, I'm still learning about new features every day.
Thanks guys!
