When I read it, I thought the overlap was the pattern, and based on my experience with Scala, I thought it supported his point well. I would dread inheriting a Scala codebase, but if I were writing a new codebase in scratch, by myself, in a vacuum, I would love to do it in Scala.
I'm not sure how Scala ended up in the green category, though. 2011-2015 I saw lots of brand-new Scala codebases. Not many since then.
- valenterry 3y agoWell, that's the thing. Scala is powerful and gives freedom, so it is really hit or miss. A good Scala codebase is a pleasure to work with and is sooo much better than the best Java codebase could possibly be. But a bad Scala codebase can be horrible and be confusing to a point where you'd wish that Scala wouldn't give this freedom to developers at all. Pick your poison I guess.
