For me, it was moving from Java to Scala, but YMMV

That was me a while back with just learning Scala.

Years later I got a gig doing Scala. I did not like it at all working with Scala and other people code.

The libraries and their classes or traits expect a certain type and juggling between them via type casting several time until you get the correct type wasn't fun. The reflection class, at least for me, was hard to use.
