Thanks.

Bye.

Few days ago I had a lightning talk about how easy it is to make internal DSLs in Scala.I only had few minutes so I just showed snippets of code of: - Specs - Scala OSGi DSL (from Roman Roleofsen)  - Apache Camel DSLand compared it to usual XML or Java code needed to do the same.Plus few words about Scala implicits and operator=method feature.
Surprisingly people didn't get it as much as I hoped...  Probably becouse only a few of the listeners heard about Scala before...
But on the last two slides I showed how to implement this:
object Playground extends BasicClass {   def main(args: Array[String]) {     10 PRINT "SCALA ROCKS!"    20 GOTO 10
    RUN  }}
And everybody got interested!
Maybe next time I will start with showing inline BASIC... ;-)

Can you tell me how to do that?
