Re:The myth of using Scala as a better Java

Out of curiosity, what is the scale of the projects you've used these technologies on? LOC, concurrent users, years of operation... As you can probably guess, I suspect that Java and it's ecosystem are created for a different scale, where this abstraction suddenly ceases to be excessive.

I suspect most Java devs "think" this is the case and do this "abstractions for big scale" all the time, even if 99% of the project would do better without it.

May be. I have a different perspective - I'm now supporting a legacy NodeJS project which would desperately need more abstraction, but the original author was really into "getting things done" mentality and didn't think about future maintainer (me) at all. Magic strings, implicit hierarchies, code duplucation, different entity id scheme on client and server with hackish "translations"... I would give a lot for my project to have a little more of this Java "Enterprise" style right now.
