Mood

This is the famous "Scala - genau!", a track commissioned by the PR department of a certain Programming Methods Lab with the goal of popularizing the Scala programming language.

This was produced - uh - maybe around 2005? - by Burak Emir. Scala was much less known and used (same for Haskell). This may explain the desperate measures of the members of the lab. The historical context could be described as nadir or programming languages; none of go, swift, dart, typescript, rust, clojure, what-have-you were around and widely used. 

Please note that 15 years later, many things change, but none of these languages have a song. This is sure a sign of something.

Special thanks to Fabien Salvi who dug this out from the archives!
