Maybe you should first learn the language? It would save your time, really. You must know the language to understand programs in that language. Simple as that.

If you don't want to learn FP or you don't value type-safety, Scala is simply not for you.

Is it actually possible? I've been using Scala for over a year and still have to spend more time learning about the language than writing code in it.
