Kafka is written in Scala. That aside, I'm not convinced those are such large projects. How much logic do they need? People build large projects on top of them - I've done so - but where's the complexity in the components themselves?

So as to expand on my wats.

What is a large project then?

Apparently, a distributed database isn't it. A distributed data processing framework isn't it. A high-performance web server isn't it. Nothing in the list is it.

What is "a large project"? Especially one, where monads are so important?

So far I only got "I think", "I work on a project", "I'm not convinced" and "I built a project on top of these". Hardly an argument, is it?
