Case classes in Scala? (Although traditional imperative classes are also available, so maybe this doesn’t count as encouraging your desired style.)

Thanks, that's pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Very interesting. Are these commonly used in Scala code? It seems that they do away with some of the boilerplate code (in the constructor) and provides some rather nice features. I guess the inventors of Scala has been thinking along similar lines as me ;-)

Yes they are used all the time and every time data has to be represented.
