Escalier
Escalier is a Scala language binding for DDS currently targeting DDS Community Edition. The beauty of Escalier is that it takes advantage of the nice features provided by the Scala language to provide a very concise and elegant API for DDS. Escalier promotes a reactive programming style for DDS applications and in upcoming releases will provide a complete Functional Reactive Programming framework for writing DDS applications. Escalier defines a Scala API for the OMG Data Distribution Service (DDS) Standard. Escalier is currently implemented on top of the Open Source DDS implementation OpenSplice.
