Commercial support for Scala has just taken a leap forward as Scala Solutions (Martin Odersky) and Scalable Solutions (Jonas Bonér) join forces to create Typesafe [1], a new company launched today with $3 million in Series A financing led by Greylock Partners [2].
The company introduces an open source "Typesafe Stack [3]", which integrates the most recent releases of the Scala programming language, Akka middleware and developer tools into one package simplifing Scala business application creation. The new company has given a boost to all the key open source Scala developer tools, contributing a new version of the Eclipse plugin and a new version of SBT and offering support services.
