Does anyone use Scala in their day to day work? Or is it dead? TC: 650k
Yes. Most of our code across the company is scala
Do you do anything data intensive there? Why is it used in your company?
If you look up the history of scala in industry fsq was one of the tech companies that brought it to use. We use it for data processing and regular backend work.
Few teams use it with Akka
People use it with spark sql
That TC though.
DE with Scala is fucking hot 🥵
Yes it is used with play and akka. But it's no different from let's say spring and JMS. Not sure what's the issue. The skills are transferrable.
It's dead since java absorbed functional programming and pattern matching
Spark is written in scala, thus people use scala for DE sometimes. Scala used to be popular but it is very niche now. Language was just way too complex
