Scala is fine to learn if you need it for work, but it is not very interesting if you already know functional and OO programming.

Scala is fine to learn if you need it for work, but it is not very interesting if you already know functional and OO programming.
- happy_dino 14y agoEven if you know both “paradigms”, Scala's incredibly well-done fusion of those concepts is what makes the language interesting, imho. You can learn FP and OOP everywhere, but which language combines FP and OOP in such a seamless a way Scala does?

- happy_dino 14y agoI wouldn't say that. Not typed, not really functional and mutability everywhere.
- rdouble 14y agoYes, but it does combine its functionally inspired features seamlessly with its object-orientedness.
