Scala is a strong statically typed high-level general-purpose programming language that supports both object-oriented programming and functional programming. Designed to be concise, many of Scala's design decisions are aimed at addressing criticisms of Java. Scala source code can be compiled to Java bytecode and run on a Java virtual machine. Martin Odersky began designing Scala in 2001 at the Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, and it was released publicly in 2004.
