Description
The special procedure syntax has been a constant source of trouble and confusion for people learning Scala, while providing no benefit except a few saved characters over using the standard method syntax.
To not cause pointless work for people, this migration has to happen in multiple steps:
- Update the style guide and the specification
- Update tools (IDEs, Scalariform, ...)
- Deprecate procedure syntax
