We think Scala made many good design choices with respect to syntax, including: (a) the use of short keywords, (b) the x : T syntax for type annotations, (c) the List[Int32] syntax for type parameters, and (d) if, match, etc. as expressions. > Other than syntax, the two languages are very different: Scala is object-oriented, Flix is not. Scala has sub-typing, Flix does not. The Scala type system is unsound and has imperfect type inference, whereas the Flix type system is both sound and supports type inference. https://flix.dev/faq/ https://flix.dev/faq/
