The code snippets are Scala. The first snippet is idiomatic. I can't imagine a team adopting Scala and complaining about functional programming though.

I've been there. One of the more functionally-minded devs wrote something to do with putting Keys and Values into some kind of json store, and a less functionally-minded dev complained about all the type variables - Ks and Vs I guess.

I thought "idiomatic Scala" was an oxymoron.

Does it still generate 17 page long stacktraces of nothing but $anon$fun? Good times.

The article date appears to be around the time the company the author was working at got a new CTO who effectively said functional programming was banned. The Scala teams got broken up and some pro Scala staff managed out…

Maybe it’s related, maybe it’s not.
