I'm a heavy Scala user who is somewhat skeptical of Kotlin, so you might say this article is preaching to the choir. And yet...while I'm convinced that it's quite possible to write Android in Scala, but I don't understand why the author's team chose Scala over Kotlin for their Android app. I presume that there are benefits to being able to do front-end and back-end work in the same language, but is this of interest to devs that don't already have a lot invested in the Scala ecosystem?
