Scala has its problems, but it is not anywhere near as clumsy as Java. Where Scala falls flat is implicitness, an overabundance of features, and extreamly dense syntax for very high levels of abstraction. Its syntax is actually quite nice, with relatively few warts. I find it a joy to write, and very fluid.
- c_shu 9y agoScala is too complicated. It reminds me of C++. But C++ is fast. People use it probably when performance is their first priority. For practical reasons I just bear with C++. Use it as necessary. I would rather not bear with another complicated language, unless there are compelling reasons. I think it's unlikely that Scala can be useful to me in the near future, because there are so many good alternatives.
