>Scala's big trump card is the Java library ecosystem.
Much of which is awkward to operate with because of Scala's own collection library. One of the main reasons Kotlin is so much easier to use.
- alextheparrot 9y agoMost of the time you just need a single import and to call the 'asScala' function, I don't consider that too awkward.
- lmm 9y agoIt's very much possible to use the Java collections library in Scala, if that's what you want (I've done it in production before; I think the benefits of using a more functional-idiomatic and immutable-first collections API usually outweigh the costs, but the option is there).
