Recently, however, I’ve noticed that Scala does to be be quite alive (3.0, ScalaDays, Cats, Shapeless, Scala.js) so I’m taking another crack at it.
I’ve done a lot in Swift and it’s my current favorite language, but it’s not widely supported.
When I look at Scala (especially 3.x), I feel like it’s like a Swift++. Go is a great language but I want to move up a level of abstraction.
By the way, Scala 3 is now feature complete:
