Scala developer unwittingly switched over to Angular + Typescript.
I would love to code Scala across the board but the value proposition that frontend frameworks provide is too compelling to ignore -- code splitting/lazy loading, strong UI support (via Ionic), fantastic tooling (VS Code + Angular CLI), standard app structure, etc.
Now the backend is a fairly dumb API that just shovels JSON to/from database with some Akka messaging mixed in here and there for websocket based content.
Never would have imagined leaving Scala.js, which is amazing in its own right, but the vast majority of frontend work has migrated to Typescript for a reason.
