Rubbish. Banks have gone in on scala + spark and are paying top dollar.
- Eridrus 11y agoI was at Spark Summit East last week, and a lot of users are Python users, rather than Scala users. So I could definitely see people moving away from Scala there.
- estefan 11y agoI'm a python fan, but for something mission critical where there was the slightest chance I had to refactor, there's no way I'd use an untyped language when I could use a strongly typed one.
- gclaramunt 11y agoAre you sure they moved from Scala to Python or they're just Python shops using Spark? (I strongly suspect the latter)
- Eridrus 11y agoProbably the latter, just pointing out that the health of Spark doesn't necessarily say a lot about Scala's health in the long term.
