What features of Java have been dropped in Scala?

Unless you have multiple of these conditional checks when the indention level gets unholy.

Continue in loop is like early return from a function. Some say we should not use it. But other find it really painful to work without 'continue'. I remember moving whole body of a loop into a function call only to get "continue" support in Lua though early return.

Why would this cause indention level to get bad? Couldn't you simply chain these conditions in a single if statement?

Not if you need to pre calculate before some conditional checks, do something if some conditions are meet and you want to save state.

Basically it all comes down to organizing code. Removing 'continue' removes one's ability to organize code in a good way, as some see it.
