You should! Been coding in Scala in my day job for the past 5 years, and it’s a great language - my personal favourite. Elegant/beautiful AND practical. The mix of OOP, FP, really robust static type system, and great 1st class concurrency support is a direction most languages are moving in, and Scala already nails it. There’s a significant learning/ramp-up period, but it’s good learning that helps your programming in any language, and once you start getting comfortable with the language you become quite productive.
- 9q9 7y agoI agree. I've used both heavily, they are both amazing, but Scala nowadays has a much richer ecosystem of libraries (because of the JVM heritage). Nevertheless, they are both in the ML tradition of languages, and once you've mastered on, the other is easily picked up.
