JavaOne Talk: Scala Prime Sieve

See this post for an explanation on why this code is being shown and what kind of responses would be useful. See this post for the Java algorithm to compare against.

import java.lang.Integer._
import java.lang.Math._
import scala.collection.mutable.ArrayBuffer

class ScalaPrimes(val size:Int){
val primes = new ArrayBuffer[Int]
var cnt = 0
init
def last = primes(primes.size - 1)

private
def init {
var i = 2
val max = calcSize
val nums = new ArrayBuffer[Boolean]
for (i<-0 until max) nums += true
while (i < max && cnt < size){
val p = i
if (nums(i)){
primes += p
cnt += 1
(p until max/p).foreach((j) => nums.update(p*j,false))
}
i += 1
}
}
def calcSize = {
var max = 2
while ( (max/log(max)) < size && max < MAX_VALUE && max > 0) {
max *= 2
}
max
}
}
