This is really excellent.

Simon- I agree with your point about C# and tuples, but I also really enjoy Ivan's discussion and examples. Perhaps it is of use to C# programmers out there who don't yet, or who don't often use tuples? He has some nice examples, and draws some nice comparisons. Though, one suggestion- since C# 4.0 has been out for like a year and a half, maybe we should remove this bit:

Another idea-- perhaps we should work a bit on the cross-linking? For example, in each major section, traits, implicits, etc, it might be a good idea to cross-link to articles from the Scala Tour, or maybe even the glossary? ...In case curious, this way it's possible for readers interested in a topic to always navigate to more detailed material.

What do you think?
