DESCRIPTION:Government consumes lots of technology and\, with the stimulus 
 dollars poised to invest heavily in information technology\, spending will 
 increase sharply over the next several years. The potential benefits to usi
 ng open source software in the public sector may seem intuitively obvious. 
  But what if you own a small business or are an independent developer/contr
 actor?  Can the  little guy do business with a big bureaucracy? And what IS
  the government doing to pursue open source today?\n

  on the JVM or the CLR. Scala is fully compatible with Java and brings many
  powerful features to the JVM\, features such as: the ability to easily cre
 ate DSL's due to Scala's ability to define methods for most operators\, eas
 ily target multi-core hardware as Scala's types are immutable by default\, 
 access to the Actor based concurrency model\, and expressive and concise co
 de due to Scala's type inference and expressive syntax. All this without mu
 ch of the boilerplate and cruft code that is so common in Java.
