Memoir of My Dalliances in Scala and the Evolution of Casbah http://github.com/mongodb/casbah Brendan McAdams 10gen, Inc. [email protected] @rit Friday, October 14, 11
am born” thing... • Age 5: Learned BASIC • Later Years (pre career) ... • REXX • C • Assembler (Z80) • The door that opened a life of crime software development: Perl • 1997 -> ~2005: Many, many years as a Perl developer • Later, I met PHP • ... and have regretted it ever since • Until, that is, I met Java • “She drinks, she smokes, she looks like the southern end of a northbound elephant, but she knows *EVERYONE* and is happy to introduce you to them.” Friday, October 14, 11
love of my life • Python. Do I really need to say more? • It just “clicked” with me • Within weeks, I found when I wrote pseudocode it was Python • It was easy to think in Python, communicate in Python and build great systems • I really thought I’d never fall in love again. • You can guess what happened .... Friday, October 14, 11
Scala • October 2009 ... • Put together NY NoSQL Conference (100+ ppl) • Job Imploded • New Job (Novus Partners), New to Scala • October 2010 ... • Joined 10gen • Fulltime MongoDB Developer, work on Hadoop integration, Casbah & general Scala support as significant portion of my job Friday, October 14, 11

absolutely nothing wrong with that Syntax... For Java. • Scala is expressive, fluid and beautiful; so is (IMHO) MongoDB. • My goal: Teach Scala to be as close to Python / Mongo Shell as possible Friday, October 14, 11
