Another Scala project: mental compatibility libraries
A week and a half ago, I whined about the sorry state of string manipulation in Java and Scala, as compared with the rich and usable string classes in both Python and Ruby. So, that led me to consider yet another Scala project to work on for fun: Python/Ruby compatibility libraries for strings in Scala. And maybe I'd throw in Array/Seq functions, too. The idea is to create simple wrapper classes prString, prSeq, and maybe prArray, that would provide all the familiar method names (String methods, Array methods, etc) from both Python and Ruby (though I would probably omit some of Ruby's stupider names, in favor of the Haskell and/or Python standards).
Not quite solid enough to be called vaporware, yet. Vacuumware? Suckware?
