As you might have noticed, I’m sometimes a very angry person. :-)

One of the things that has gotten me particularly angry recently is the shockingly poor quality of aggregation sites for Scala. There’s Artima Scala Buzz, which I’ve chronicled my irritation with before, and a new Scala driven ad farm which if you read the mailing lists you’ve probably noticed.

The particular reason this makes me so angry is that setting up a good aggregator is really damn easy. Planet planet is very simple to set up (it took me maybe half an hour of tinkering) and produces consistently good results. Planet Haskell is basically a vanilla setup of it and works very well.

So, as usual, I end up porting something from Haskell to Scala. Say hello to Planet Scala
