Is it possible to do something similar to LINQ to Events in Scala? Is this similar to the new Traversable trait in Scala 2.8?

A: 

I went to that page, and I confess I'm not sure what you are talking about. Probably because I don't know LINQ, so I don't know what's new, and it wasn't made clear enough.

Is it the reactive functional stuff? If so, you can just search for it, and you'll find examples.

+3  A: 

To make an analogy, it sounds like (in .NET) IObservable is to IEnumerable what (in Scala) Traversable is to Iterable. That's just an interface though. The broader Rx (LINQ to Events) project sounds like Functional Reactive Programming (FRP) in .NET. For Scala, Ingo Maier is working on something like this under the name ScalaFX.
