Scala at scale at Databricks
Scala was a terrible technology that was adopted by my organization five years ago and were still paying the price.<p>How to deprecate this at scale?<p>The extent to which i like scala is as a dsl for describing etl jobs with spark and i prefer the RDD api.<p>Engineers are consistently crippled by it, we dont even use shapeless or scalaz. Spec2 is a terrible dsl that offers a shitty vocabular to write unit tests and makes the common path incredible difficult compared to junit.
