I have been using Scala commercially for 3 years now. Never have I come across someone who didn&#x27;t like it. Java veterans almost cry with joy after using Scala. I don&#x27;t know if I live in a Scala bubble but I don&#x27;t believe that&#x27;s likely. And &quot;Java will almost be Scala&quot; nonsense never gets old it seems. It&#x27;s as stupid as &quot;Go is almost Haskell&quot; (but they both have lambdas!!).
