This is EXACTLY how I feel. I don't need a lot of introductory chapters dedicated to first-class functions, closures, and higher order functions like map/fold & friends. So much Scala material is clearly targeted at Java programmers and leads with something like "look no semicolons!" I want something like "Scala for Lispers". (or even "Scala for Ruby programmers")


I've found "Scala in Depth" to be really good for learning more about the type system http://www.manning.com/suereth/
