a letter I just read

Hi, I'm a new programmer and I want to make a social network like
facebook or orkut.

I only know the basics of C, a bit of Objective-C (OOP) and a bit of Java that I'm learning in college. I know
nothing about web programming.

Is it possible to make a social network website like facebook or orkut with Scala?

I currently found that I could use ruby on rails or python with django, but I looked up a bit of Scala and I liked a lot its syntax, and one of my teachers in college said that Scala would be the programming language of the future, so I thought I should ask someone who knew more about the language.

Is Scala better for what I want than the other 2?

Also where should I start learning how to make my social network with Scala?
Any particular book, opencoursewares, or tutorials I could use?

Just to remember, I don't have any knowledge of HTML or CSS or JavaScript or anything related to internet, I just know the names.

I appreciate anyone that can help me.

Thank you for your time,
Rodrigo

нет такой функции...

getRandomNumber(), как и функции getCurrentTime().

Это всё не функции. Случайное число - это переменная. Употребление getRandomNumber() делает ваш код зависимым от случайной переменной (тут прячется монада, но это неважно). Просто считайте, что у вас теперь есть функция, определённая на значениях, возвращаемых вашим getRandomNumber(). То же самое и про getCurrentTime() - это тоже не функция, а переменная. По которой, например, можно интегрировать.
