  Scala knows something about this and made a 180-degrees turn recently. Swift is a lot like Scala. Swift creators, please not repeat Scala's mistakes.

    I use Scala everyday (in spark) and generally prefer it over java but I agree that the surface area is too large. This is really evident when you start to import someone else’s libraries. The breadth of the language affords many different paths for the library writer depending On how much of a language sniper they are.
