Well, I love Scala but Im dubious about this implementation

VendingMachine is a stateful mutable object. Not concurrency-friendly, but certainly a defensible choice given the that real-world machines are stateful too.

But why add in the java util concurrent stuff to a design that uses a mutable, stateful backing object? That API seems like it wont work in concurrent scenario, and adds what…?

Thanks for my partridge! What do I feed it? I’m worried my dogs might eat it. I do like pears though.
