Ha, no. Scala does contain this language the parent described, but alongside the huge multitudes of other languages it also contains.

- kaba0 3y agoScala is an absolutely small language. It is just very expressive, but its complexity is quite different than, say, Cpp’s, which has many features.
- sanderjd 3y agoIn my view you have compared it to the only other language for which it is small by comparison :) But different strokes for different folks! I have nothing against Scala, its multi-paradigm thing is cool and impressive, it just isn't for me except by way of curiosity.
- kaba0 3y agoCould you list all the features you are thinking of?
- sanderjd 3y agoI think all the links in the first two sections in the What Is Scala[0] docs give the flavor pretty well. It contains a full (and not small) set of OO language functionality, alongside an even more full-featured functional language. There are a lot of adjectives you can use to describe Scala - mostly good ones! - but "small" just isn't one of them. 0: https://docs.scala-lang.org/tour/tour-of-scala.html#what-is-scala https://docs.scala-lang.org/tour/tour-of-scala.html#what-is-...
