Scala isn’t owned by a company making tools, but in the recent years it has experienced a big transformation on the tooling space with projects such as mill, Ammonite, Metals, Scalafix or Bloop. I’m obviously biased because I’ve worked on some of these tools but having worked with other programming languages lately I’d dare to say Scala tooling is solid and good. In some regards, we have better developer workflows than Kotlin and Java developers have and there’s a huge stream of innovation in this space.
