Not a FANG, but close, Twitter is a huge Scala shop and was one of the first to run Scala workloads on GraalVM in production.

Yeah Scala on Graal will be fantastic - as I say in my post Scala isn't a great fit for serverless, but Graal is likely solve that.

I adore Finagle/Finatra and wish it had the mindshare over play.

Twitter not only early adopted GraalVM but also open sourced the Reasonable Scala Compiler https://github.com/twitter/rsc/commit/5d86ee2e2577684f49ce1f...

Definitely a large Scala shop.
