What makes Scala great is their language syntax. The ability to do higher kind functions makes it a joy to work with. I program much faster than I would Java.

What makes Scala great is their language syntax. The ability to do higher kind functions makes it a joy to work with. I program much faster than I would Java. I am also not a big fan of OOP myself. The downside is that it’s slow to compile and it’s no faster than any Java based languages. I am slowly realizing if I want performance, I need to forgo Scala altogether.
- kaba0 4y agoHave you tried GraalVM (not native, but as a pluggable JIT compiler)? It has slightly better escape analysis which might help Scala, which tends to create small helper classes. Nonetheless, hotspot and graal and hand-in-hand, but you may find one working better for your particular situation.
