Can I start then with Scala - it's my favorite language and easily has the best of both OO and functional worlds with insanely useful libraries to express code ergonomically. EVERYBODY SHOULD USE IT!


Nah it’s too complex, has shipped too many breaking changes, and the community sucks.


I worked on a Scala project about 15 years ago and it definitely felt overly complex. Similar to early C++, everyone used their own dialect.


Always gotta get my yum yucked.


Just been screwed too many times I guess. I do like it more than Kotlin though. The language is powerful.
