What is coming up for scala in 2.10? [closed]
Obviously there is the reflection library but what else can we expect to see in the next release of scala? Any language changes? Is there a website where I can see a roadmap?
Solution 1:
The smaller items:
- Huge @deprecation cleanup
-
scala.Dynamiccould be finally enabled by default - Huge improvements to documentation
- Many fixes which make ScalaDoc a pleasure to use
- Fixes to the continuation compiler plugin
-
Faster hashing algorithm for
Products and collections
Some changes which I hope will be included:
- Removal of
scala.dbc - Removal of useless code examples and flower pictures which currently ship with the standard library
Solution 2:
Martin Odersky just put slides from ScalaDays 2011 on the web. Last few pages of the presentation shows the desired direction for Scala.

Solution 3:
Martin Odersky announced new features at Devoxx several days ago. I blogged about it (you can also find photos and presentation slides here.
Solution 4:
Odersky's talk What's new in Scala 2.10 at Java One 2012 contained pretty much the latest details about this.
