I liked Scala and was excited about learning and using it when it was picking up steam many years back. Unfortunately, it felt like there wasn't as much traction, and Scala has been siloed into some niche domains like Spark. It's a bummer since it's so nice to write with.

My favourite was always Akka Streams. I loved working with it so much.
This warms my heart in an otherwise bland day :)
+1, it's an amazing library. Actors is also great along with the rest of the Akka stack. Shame what LB did to it.
Yeah, spark was for me the reason to learn spark, as the Java Api was annoying.

But i do not like to see switch between java and scala and these days also kotlin. Syntax model switches in my head drive me nuts. :))
