After yet again explaining why I prefer DOTNET FSharp  over something like Scala, I dug into this further for more convincing myself
Despite not being an expert here, Scala is a no go due to the botchery Oracle has decided to put the latest iterations of Java thru. The JVM is one horrid security breach I would never want to run!
I also addressed this is in a Skype session:
f# has a lot of momentum
i have used java for 8 years
[5:24:29 PM] Bryan Downing: it is old data garbage where java 8 is desparately trying to catch up to the .net innovations
[5:24:56 PM] Bryan Downing: sorry, just my POV but from a tech point, i will experiment with python is coming weeks but i am not holding my breath
[5:25:02 PM] Bryan Downing: scala is good believe it is good
As for the links above, F# is dead simple to set up with Visual Studio. I even tried it where I was impressed. When you deal with setting up something like Scala within Eclipse, I would rather burn myself and run around professing my love  for Anton Kreil’s high quality master class in learning how to be a better trader. Hack hack.
Anyhooo..read the comments in the link below.. Save yourself some time and headache.
