I lead a team who rewrote their stack from C#/C++/Win to Java/C++/Node. Big wins were being able to leverage the much larger ecosystem, and containerization.

We played with Scala but it didn’t work for our team, the expressivity is a two edged sword. Runtime is absolutely fine though it was all about complexity, and poor developer tooling. And since we are in a smaller market, not SV, sticking to platforms where we can find hires was probably a better call for our company.
