I would use it at work because I know it. There are a LOT of libraries in Scala for HTTP up to database stuff, and it really depends on what kind of ecosystem you're walking into: * Scala as Python: https://github.com/com-lihaoyi/cask https://github.com/com-lihaoyi/cask, maybe https://github.com/getquill/quill https://github.com/getquill/quill * Scala as Haskell: HTTP4s, https://tpolecat.github.io/doobie/ https://tpolecat.github.io/doobie/ * Scala as Rails: Play Play is the closest thing to Rails-like CRUD productivity IMO, and honestly for CRUD most times I would like to write as little code as possible and just get it done, even using low/no-code solutions (postgrest, hasura, htmx), but that wasn't the question :)
