We use Java in our projects and although there is interest in Scala, I fail to see any real benefits from moving to it, especially with new Java features, except for a nice addition to your CV.
Can anyone share their experience where moving from Scala to Java yielded measurable benefits, besides "it's more fun to program in Scala"?
- didibus 7y ago"More Fun" has more implications on productivity, defect rates, and quality than you give it. You can't underestimate how much the motivation of developers and their enjoyment and engagement with a project, feature, or any given code change actually impacts the overall delivery. Now, if you don't find it more fun, more engaging and more motivating, disregard this. But my point is, any language, tooling, environment, team culture, etc., which will bring you "more fun" will actually make you deliver way better software as a side effect.
