Scala was a unique language a few years ago. I'm very happy I adopt it a few years ago and I owe it a lot. As a lot of other modern languages or features of mainstream ones do.

However, with the existing alternatives nowdays, Scala doesn't hold the same position. I have not coded in Scala for ~2 years and I'm not sure I'll ever need to.

Anyway, all the best for Scala's awesome team and its ecosystem.
