  Hello Mr Urban,\medskip\\

  I just wanted to ask, how are we suppose to work
  with the completely useless \textbf{\texttt{val}}, that can’t be changed ever? Why is
  this rule active at all? I’ve spent 4 hours not thinking on the
  coursework, but how to bypass this annoying rule. What’s the whole

  gives us?!?\medskip\\

    THANK YOU! You made me change my coding perspective. Because of you,
    I figured out the next one\ldots

\frametitle{Conclusion for Today}

\begin{itemize}
\item Scala is still under development, 2.13.1 came out in Sept.\\ 
  (the compiler is terribly slow)\medskip
\item {\bf\url{http://www.scala-lang.org/}}\bigskip
  
\item it is a rather \textbf{\alert{deep}} language\ldots i.e.~gives
  you a lot of rope to shoot yourself\bigskip

\item learning functional programming is not easy\ldots{}when you have
  spent all of your career thinking in an imperative way, it is hard to
  change\bigskip\medskip
  
\item hope you have fun with Scala and the assignments
\end{itemize}
