Even though I still enjoy Scala, the author’s perspective is valid. However, some of his pain could be eased by using Gradle instead of sbt and IntelliJ as an IDE. The core frustrations that my team has are with the flexibility it provides and the complexity it seems to encourage. But, those can be tempered by having a team agree on a clearly-defined code style guide. I feel like the original early adopters have moved on to other languages now. So maybe now the language can be appropriated by people who are focused more on productivity than novelty.
