I agree. Scala is actually usable for real-world use cases on a much broader scale, simply by virtue of being on the JVM. I wrapped some of the (unergonimic-because-code-gen'd) AWS libraries in cats-effect just the other day, matter of fact. Some of the native libraries do suffer from this "stylistic neophilia" too, imo, but maybe not to the same degree as Haskell. Also, Scala 3 made a lot of great improvements, although the tooling and library support arguably regressed w/ IntelliJ (I assume that's temporary) and some of the (on paper) positive changes - especially the whole type class derivation topic - make older articles and books _very_ confusing for people just getting into the language. I'd say making that migration happen in larger code bases and companies will continue to be a real-world challenge, but hopefully in the shape of a one-time effort, rather than constant changes. Also, based on the username, I assume that the parent comment is by Li Haoyi. Funny how small the scala world is - I tend to see the same names (you, Alvin Alexander, Gabriel Volpe, John A De Goes) over and over. :)
