Scala is a wonderful language, with a specification of a size comparable with that of Java. Overall, the specification is simpler than C++. Why then do some feel intimidated by its expressiveness?

Scala can generate complex constructs. There are some features of the language that, if not used properly, can negatively influence one's perception of its simplicity and generate a waste of many an hour of a frustrated developer.

Newcomers from simply typed, object-oriented, structured languages do not have a full grasp of all the features of scala and their effects or benefits, and they may be very surprised if others on their team use them.

One thing to have when starting or using scala is a readily available bible. I recommend "Programming in Scala", the .pdf version, an easily searcheable language reference.

The scala style guide is very good. Here we will describe the advanced features of the language, which are aimed at library-developers and should not b

# You may need to rerun this script if you hit a Twitter Error because you
# use up API rate limiting. That's why we pickle the results, so we can resume

# get the twitter module using 'easy_install twitter'

Event Buffering

Eventually platforms outgrow the single-source-tree model and become distributed systems. A common pattern in these distributed systems is distributed composition via event buffering. Here we motivate and describe this event buffering pattern.

The Problem
