Actually not true. If you love making software you will probably use Scala without its esoteric features (for the better, imho) and you have a powerful and useful tool, yet very pleasant to work with.
- watwut 10y agoIf you are writing code alone, yes. If you are trying to decipher a lot of code somebody else created, not so much.
- pierrehenrit 10y agoThe point I was trying to make is that it does not have to be cryptic at all! I worked on a play app where it was really easy to go around and even JS front-end developers made small contributions. Maybe some teams need to set up rules, or do more code reviews idk.
- watwut 10y agoEvery teams ends up with different subset of features through. When you take over after different team with different culture, the deciphering problem gets back. Also, through I did not seen it in Scala but in different language, the part of coding I personally enjoy the least was the prolonged fight over which features are going to be used with code reviews being primary tool to force other team members into submission. Seriously, I like following team standards, but new rules suddenly appearing during code review were pretty annoying - giving me a choice between not meeting deadline and following other dude random opinions whether I agree with them or not.
