I'm at Google and we have a very consistent set of tooling across a large engineering org. I can certainly "play" with Scala, but realistically my exploratory coding is Python notebooks or SQL – neither of which Scala is going to help with, and anything else is going to need so much work to integrate with our frameworks and systems that it's unlikely to happen.

  That's handy to know for the future. At the moment we have plenty of infrastructure built around Python notebooks, things like Colab, so not really feasible here I think.
