I used Scala at my previous startup, but for my new startup I decided to build the backend in Java 8. Biggest reasons were the tooling/IDE is just miserable in Scala and the lack of developers in the market. I am really happy with my decision to build our backend with Java 8, quite a joy to write lambda expressions and have the tooling of Java.
Pretty sure I won't be going back to Scala.
