Scala has some nice and cool vibes and features to it.

But that is where good parts end.

From the POV of real world boots-on-theground software challenges and developers it is a poorly designed, overengineered and overrated piece of complexity.

Complexity disconnected from reality of software engineering as a tool to serve business needs.

I can explain why this happens but I don’t want to get downvotes. People hate hearing bitter truth:)
