It's funny, because my experience is almost the opposite. My Scala skills are a bit rusty at this point and I promised myself to get back in the game once Scala 3 was released. Most of it I like. The new syntax, however, is really putting me off. My #1 problem with Scala has always been its huge upfront complexity and the quality of libraries, which are often over-engineered and not nearly enough UX-centric (cough implicits everywhere). Scala 3 was supposed to be a breath of fresh air, but I don't want to invest more time in a language that instead of getting simpler further complicates something as basic as the syntax. This change tells me that I strongly disagree with the core leadership when it comes to the future of Scala and what kind of language it should be.
