It just got a huge revamp with Scala 3, please do check it out if you hadn’t yet - it fixes some pain points while has many many exciting features, eg. can be null-safe with a single compiler flag (basically type T will not be able to represent a null, a java method that does return T will have a signature of T | Null). In great hands it can be insanely productive and well-maintainable, but of course I know that giving it to developers that look at the project more as a learning/experimenting thing can cause quite some damage due to the language’s strength.
