My opinion although I know others will feel differently. Scala is a good language and serves its purpose very well when working with Spark. I think the environment surrounding it is still shit. I think Play is not good, and other related frameworks are still not where they need to be. Even the ORM solutions I think are more complicated compared to every other major language. Yes you can use Java with it, but then the benefits of using scala and switching between your Java and scala become burdensome. I think Scala has many more features almost to a fault. Its a large complex language, unless you have a dedicated team with a defined coding style it'll be hard to maintain. With that being said, I do like the language but I prefer opinionated languages like Java and Go
