I to this day don't get what's wrong with Scala's marketing, as people are complaining about the "complex type system" but nobody does so for TypeScript.

Same for compile times. TS compilation is ridiculously slow yet there're no complains whatsoever out there. Scala compile times are OK on the other hands side, especially if you ever used C++ with similar complex code, or TS like said, but "the slow compiles" are a topic now for years.

Just makes no sense to me, don't get it.
