i like scala and have used it as my primary language for the majority of my career. It is waning as other languages catch up, but to some extent perhaps having the self styled elitists move on to rust will mean that a more pragmatic and less dramatic user base is left behind and the intellectual one upmanship that has made scala toxic can find a home somewhere else. If I was starting out today I'd lean more towards python, typescript and go depending on use case. (I still think rust is over engineered, over used and over prescribed with very few people getting paid to write it) Anyway I am hoping it turns into somewhat of a COBOL where I can charge outlandish rates for fixing banks technical debt issues.
