Scala

Listen brahs. I have a dirty anus that needs cleaning: Java. I learned Java as my first language in school and now that I learned Scheme and am learning Haskell, I figured I may as well not let that go to waste and learn Scala. Is it simple to go from Java to Scala? Or is the syntax strange in some places. Because I looked over some code snippets and it seemed decent.

As with pretty much any given functional programming language, things are so unintuitive that, well, I can't even explain properly how BAD things are. I'm studying haskell for college and I must say, when I compare the things I can do with C (I can even use pointers well), Java (I solve problems with classes), Python (I solve problems in simpler ways than C or Java) and even Shell Scripts (and that's something!) with Haskell (I pretty much can't do a thing), I know something must have gone terribly wrong!
