Scala sure is a beautiful, beautiful language to read; definitely want to dig in deeper now

  As someone who mostly writes Scala at work, I love it, and definitely recommend you to. The language is not without its faults, but it remains my personal favourite.

  It can also get out of control if you let it :)

      For sure. I'm just speaking in relative terms. Scala makes it really easy to write seriously complex code and types. You end up with fun stuff like this: def map[U](f: T => U): Group[U] = collect { case e => f(e) } implicit def canStackFromFac[Req, Rep] : CanStackFrom[Filter[Req, Rep, Req, Rep], ServiceFactory[Req, Rep]] = new CanStackFrom[Filter[Req, Rep, Req, Rep], ServiceFactory[Req, Rep]] { def toStackable(_role: Stack.Role, filter: Filter[Req, Rep, Req, Rep]) = new Stack.Simple[ServiceFactory[Req, Rep]] { val role = _role val description = role.name def make(next: ServiceFactory[Req, Rep])(implicit params: Params) = filter andThen next } }
