Fascinating to see not just the breadth and depth of new features but also what has been targeted. Stuff like Python-style significant whitespace[0] was definitely not on my radar. On the one hand, Scala is such a seductive language - there is literally nobody it doesn't cater to. Whether you're into FP, OO, data science, enterprise business logic, strict conservative style explicit semantics vs going wild with implicits and DSLs etc, and now whether you like significant whitespace or not ... But on the other hand its the same story as always - all this crazy optionality of features mean its got such a huge surface area for people to understand. Its a language where I get what I feel is functionally competent and then dive into a codebase in github and I can barely even recognise the syntax, let alone feel confident to make a change.
