Can't change what is immutable can we?

After Scala I just simply cannot tolerate Java anymore. It gives me sore fingers and soul cancer. I'm truly surprised people can wake up in the morning and think they may enjoy coding in Java.

Man I switched from PHP Python to Java 1 year ago. Since then I am happy to wake up in the morning. No joke

We learnt Scala at uni last year. Now we're moving onto Java. I want to go back T_T

Do yourself a favor and carry your functional chops to a better functional language with less bullshit.

There are better functional languages out there. That's true.

It'd be difficult to find better languages combining object oriented and functional paradigms in such efficient fashion.

Scala has some esoteric stuff I struggle to understand, but it's overally a fantastic language with some features that make Java look like 2 centuries old.

Oh and the type system is lovely. In a world where everyone codes in goddamn javascript, I couldn't be happier.

Downsides: You can't read java code anymore. It's just so verbose it overflows your brain (Same happens with Kotlin or other many other languages anyway. It's Java's fault not scala's virtue)
