Scala has been my primary professional language for the past 5 years, and I actually don’t have to use Java libs very often anymore, the pure Scala ecosystem has really caught up. When you do have to use them, they’re normally pretty easy to wrap. Totally agree with the plethora of ways to use it being an issue, though. “Classic Scala” and “let’s write Haskel is Scala” is a real split in the community, and a significant downside. Then you have Akka too, though at least that solves different problems (highly stateful AND highly concurrent, which is a pretty rare mix).
