Abstract

Scala offers many benefits for constructing scientific programming environments. Extending Scala with Matlab-like constructs enabled the creation of ScalaSci, a compiled mathematical scripting framework, and ScalaLab, an efficient integrated scientific programming environment. ScalaLab offers an interesting open source alternative to commercial packages, especially for the scientific community familiar with Java.
