I worked at a Scala shop in 2011. It was pure hell. Slow compiles, bad tooling (the Scala plugin for Eclipse was a slow as molasses, IntelliJ's was a bit better though), inexperienced developers. I asked why they chose Scala... It was obviously immature at the time. "Joe thought it was good." (Joe was the architect.) I'd never touch it again.

It's changed beyond recognition since 2015 let alone 2011. Seems odd to base your judgment of it on an experience 10 years ago.

  My other experiences at that company definitely put things in a bad light. I should take another look at it, you're right...
