Was? Last I heard, Dotty is ongoing and will transition into Scala 3.

I like to think of Scala as the C++ of the JVM world. It's a complex language with a lot of features, but it can be extremely powerful if you know what idioms to use and where to use them. For example, template abuse in C++ is akin to implicit abuse in Scala.

This is right. Dotty is in very active development, and is planned to become Scala 3 some time in 2020.

Well, sadly, too powerful often leads to abuses and unmaintainable code.

Maybe this is something that helped grow Go's popularity by being simpler ? (I don't know, just wondering)
