Thanks for using the application! ==================================== Scala is a multi-paradigm programming language designed to integrate features of object-oriented programming and functional programming. The name Scala is a portmanteau of "scalable" and "language", signifying that it is designed to grow with the demands of its users. James Strachan, the creator of Groovy, described Scala as a possible successor to Java. The design of Scala started in 2001 at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) by Martin Odersky, following on from work on Funnel, a programming language combining ideas from functional programming and Petri nets. Odersky had previously worked on Generic Java and javac, Sun's Java compiler. Scala was released late 2003 / early 2004 on the Java platform, and on the .NET platform in June 2004. A second version of the language, v2.0, was released in March 2006. On 17 January 2011 the Scala team won a 5 year research grant of over €2.3 million from the European Research Council. On 12 May 2011, Odersky and collaborators launched Typesafe, a company to provide commercial support, training, and services for Scala. Typesafe received $3 million investment from Greylock Partners. ## Key features - Compile and run Scala programs - Text input and output - Enhanced source code editor - Syntax highlighting - Online language reference - Program samples ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | 100 Compilations for Scala Programming Language | $0.99 | one-time | | Unlimited Compilations for Scala Programming Language | $2.99 | one-time | ## Recent user reviews (9 of 9) All indexed reviews: https://appshunter.io/ios/app/scala-programming-language/id500461534/reviews.md ### 1/5 — Money sucker *2018-10-02, version 11.1* Have to pay immediately for 100 compilations done online. There are better apps that do that for free. ### 1/5 — Requires in app purchase as soon as app opens *2018-06-25* Downloads, opened it, wrote hello world, hit run and it refused to unless I bought “compilation credits” ### 1/5 — Useless app, waste of money *2016-11-05, version 9.4* I downloaded this app thinking it would be great to have repl on the go, but it's not what it is. It just takes your code and sends it to some server to get compiled, which you'll have to pay $3 for. **Developer response:** Just connect to Internet and it will work fine! ### 3/5 — I wish I could read Chinese... *2016-02-11, version 7.4* Unfortunately, my program's output is written in Chinese. I wish the app's setting page provided a toggle switch so that I could choose an English output. Other than this drawback, the app is okay. ### 1/5 — Complete ripoff *2016-02-08, version 7.4* It's slow, nothing local and points to outdated documentation **Developer response:** Please check your Internet connection if it works slow for you. Are you sure that version of the compiler doesn't correspond to version of the documentation? ### 1/5 — Complete garbage *2015-05-30, version 7.4* Just a text editor that sends code to compiler online. Takes 30 seconds to compile and fails. **Developer response:** Please try to compile your program again. It looks like temporary problem that was already resolved. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2014-05-03, version 4.3.1* I am writing a compiler that targets many languages and this app is ideal for my purposes. Keep up the good work! ### 4/5 — Great idea *2013-10-31* Great app for tweaking programs when I'm away from my computer. There's an iOS7 issue with new file dialog but pretty good otherwise, especially on iPad. Nice work! ### 3/5 — Disappointed that it compiles online *2012-08-18, version 2.0* I am not always network connected, and so was disappointed to find that this is a terminal to an online scala implementation. ## Frequently asked questions about Scala Programming Language ### What is Scala Programming Language?
