At work we use Scala in a very functional style and Akka. Not a single dev on our team (including me) knew Scala when they started. Everyone was productive with the codebase and programmed idiomatically within a matter of weeks.
- JamesBarney 8y agoI imagine the team was familiar with writing Java, which makes moving to Scala the easiest possible language transition besides maybe a move from C# to VB.NET. Switching to a completely different ecosystem, such as to R, Racket, Haskell and C takes at least twice as long. And could be much longer if you're relying on large framework changes, for instance if you're switching from QT to GTK+ or WPF.
