Very similar to @Eastsun’s, but a bit more intention revealing. Tested in Scala 2.8.
scala> val l = List(1, 2, 3)
l: List[Int] = List(1, 2, 3)
scala> Stream.continually(l.toStream).flatten.take(10).toList
res3: List[Int] = List(1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1)
Alternatively, with Scalaz:
scala> import scalaz._
import scalaz._
scala> import Scalaz._
import Scalaz._
scala> val l = List(1, 2, 3)
l: List[Int] = List(1, 2, 3)
scala> l.toStream.repeat[Stream].join.take(10).toList
res7: List[Int] = List(1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, 1)
