-## Preface
-
-Scala is a Java-like programming language which unifies
-object-oriented and functional programming. It is a pure
-object-oriented language in the sense that every value is an
-object. Types and behavior of objects are described by
-classes. Classes can be composed using mixin composition. Scala is
-designed to work seamlessly with two less pure but mainstream
-object-oriented languages -- Java and C#.
-
-Scala is a functional language in the sense that every function is a
-value. Nesting of function definitions and higher-order functions are
-naturally supported. Scala also supports a general notion of pattern
-matching which can model the algebraic types used in many functional
-languages.
-
-Scala has been designed to interoperate seamlessly with Java (an
-alternative implementation of Scala also works for .NET). Scala
-classes can call Java methods, create Java objects, inherit from Java
-classes and implement Java interfaces. None of this requires interface
-definitions or glue code.
-
-Scala has been developed from 2001 in the programming methods
-laboratory at EPFL. Version 1.0 was released in November 2003. This
-document describes the second version of the language, which was
-released in March 2006. It acts a reference for the language
-definition and some core library modules. It is not intended to teach
-Scala or its concepts; for this there are other documents
-[@scala-overview-tech-report;
-@odersky:scala-experiment;
-@odersky:sca;
-@odersky-et-al:ecoop03;
-@odersky-zenger:fool12]
-
-Scala has been a collective effort of many people. The design and the
-implementation of version 1.0 was completed by Philippe Altherr,
-Vincent Cremet, Gilles Dubochet, Burak Emir, Stéphane Micheloud,
-Nikolay Mihaylov, Michel Schinz, Erik Stenman, Matthias Zenger, and
-the author. Iulian Dragos, Gilles Dubochet, Philipp Haller, Sean
-McDirmid, Lex Spoon, and Geoffrey Washburn joined in the effort to
-develop the second version of the language and tools. Gilad Bracha,
-Craig Chambers, Erik Ernst, Matthias Felleisen, Shriram Krishnamurti,
-Gary Leavens, Sebastian Maneth, Erik Meijer, Klaus Ostermann, Didier
-Rémy, Mads Torgersen, and Philip Wadler have shaped the design of
-the language through lively and inspiring discussions and comments on
-previous versions of this document. The contributors to the Scala
-mailing list have also given very useful feedback that helped us
-improve the language and its tools.
