I write Scala code for a living. Scala may not be the best language at anything but it’s extremely good at everything. It’s extremely versatile and easy to fall in love with. It’s really unopinionated and has a number of sub-ecosystems that are super cool but it makes it hard for newcomers to navigate it. It attracts passionate and clever people, but as a result comes with a (rightful) reputation of being hard/expensive to hire for.
Its curse is that it’s the most niche mainstream language, or the most mainstream niche language.
Didn’t they get shit recently for AI and crypto related decisions ? Did they backtrack on that ?
