There have been some great improvements in Scala tooling in recent years. Li Haoyi talks about all these new tools in the Hands-On Scala programming book. Some specific responses: * tooling for writing VSCode: the metals project is great: https://github.com/scalameta/metals https://github.com/scalameta/metals * NullPointerExceptions: those should be handled with Option/ Some / None * the inability to enforce a coding style properly - scalafmt is great for this and provides a "Go-like" automatic formatting experience https://scalameta.org/scalafmt/ https://scalameta.org/scalafmt/ * SBT - there are now alternatives like Mill: https://github.com/lihaoyi/mill https://github.com/lihaoyi/mill Glad you're happier with Rust, but know that Scala is a lot better now if you ever come back ;)
