I've been programming in Scala for around a year and a half. I hate one thing about Scala, which is the community.

It's split into two, the people who wish Scala is Haskell (shapeless, scalaz &c) and the people who want Scala to be Enterprise Quality™

It causes lots of issues, as their goals for the language are completely different and Scala devs are usually in one camp or another.

As an aside, I always think that if your problems are much better expressed in Haskell, why are these developers not using Haskell?

Generally because your boss won't let you.
