"...look something messy like Scala", I feel bad you feel this way as Scala is an incredibly powerful and elegant language.
It's ironic because you're throwing shade at Javascript when JS developers are doing the same thing against Typescript. Fearing what you don't know or understand under the guise that change is bad or things are "good enough".
- quilombodigital 4y agoI agree Scala is very powerful. I said messy because it is "too powerful", added too many features. I think this is their mistake. I respect the community, but can show my opinion as you can about java.
- dopidopHN 4y agoI really liked scala… until I had a to maintain a large and « old » code base in it. I think messy fits.
- grumpyprole 4y agoJava is also a messy language and the reason for a lot of the mess in Scala. If you want elegance, then you should probably learn something like Haskell.
- quilombodigital 4y agocan we have a not-messy-not-elegant language? :)

- kaba0 4y agoI really don’t feel that Scala has too many features. It is a relatively small language which is very elegant due to having almost no edge cases. Sure, due to not having many features yet being very expressive it has to have very powerful language primitives that can be abused, but I really don’t think that it is as bad as its name.
