We talked about future interests of group members.

• Most of us are interested in functional programming possible in Scala, more particularly about Monads, Streams etc.
• Usage of collection library is another interesting thing, especially converting between collection representations, e.g. immutable to mutable, serial to parallel, lazy to direct.
• Martin presented Lambdaheads group and requested Alex for presentation of Scala in next meeting of group.
• New features from version 2.10, especially: reflection, macros are another point of interest.
• Real-world examples and usage of frameworks build in Scala, will be presented during next meetings.
• This also applies to tools, like SBT, JRebel and IDEs.
