I can think of 100kloc Scala codebases, e.g. Kafka.

People do use ML family languages, and they are better. There are plenty of non-technical reasons they aren't as widespread as dynamic languages or shitty static languages.

Right, but Scala is different from Haskell or f#. It doesn't use the same kind of type inference (hm) as classical ml derivatives.
