> Yes, you can go crazy with Scala, but if you are responsible

The problem is not so much the code you write but the one you have to read/use.Languages that are more rigid are often easier to work with,they are predictable,as you wont have to deal with strange apis.

I believe Java8 or Kotlin are good enough. Scala is sometimes just unreadable when you have to read other people's source code.

but maybe it's just me.

Is it really worse than the pattern/OO folks that end up creating dozens of one-member interfaces, namespaces galore, even separate compilation units for absolutely no reason other than it feels "enterprisey"?
