Twitter aside. Are there companies that use Scala? I am not talking about a typical Spark or “better Java” use case, but rather “all the way functional” one. YoE: 6 TC: 200
LPT: Stay the hell away from companies that go “all the way functional”. That being said we do, not just for Spark (ofc) but for our other services as well
Why? What’s wrong with “all the way” approach? The only possible downside I’ve experienced: people go too far into the rabbit hole and over engineer, which leads to missing timelines.
Just anecdotally, “too far down the rabbit hole” is synonymous with companies/eng orgs that are insufficiently focused on products/customers. Just my 2c, take that for what it’s worth. I would stay away from any company that uses scalaz
Stripe uses it a bit
Databricks
Morgan Stanley.. Comcast/HBO for its streaming VoD platform.. seems some guy wrote it in scala.. somehow all VoD platform have the same code. Its there in JPMC too.. but not in the same scale as Morgan Stanley
Interesting. I didn’t know traditional finance uses Scala/FP.
I heard Spotify uses it too. Why?
Ads in Reddit is Scala and Golang.
Maintaining someone else's functional code is a nightmare.
