10/24/2018, 5:48 PMScala is more consistent and based on a few core concepts that generalize elegantly. It's also positioned explicitly as a hybrid functional/OO language, which I like. For me TypeScript is my poor-man's scala in the NetSuite dev space

10/24/2018, 5:49 PMI see Kotlin as a slightly polished Java (and Kotlin borrowed a lot of ideas from Scala 🙂 )

10/24/2018, 5:50 PMI haven't done much Scala dev lately, but when 3.0 comes out I might try to switch to it

10/24/2018, 5:50 PMYeah I aggree with Kotlin taken the best from Java and Scala. I just looked into scala a bit and it looks nice for small things but I've heard from multiple people that working in bigger projects with scala can be a huge pain in the ass

10/24/2018, 5:52 PMironic, given that Scala is designed to scale to large projects. I personally have only used it on smaller projects. I think Scala is a powerful language and with power comes responsibility, reminds me of C++ in that regard.

10/24/2018, 5:53 PMI think the very name "Scala" means "SCAlable LAnguage"

10/24/2018, 5:53 PMScala 3 is supposed to have a provably sound type system, so I kinda look forward to that. I don't think we've had a mainstream language pull that off yet

10/24/2018, 5:56 PMYeah I remember the good old days where I wrote a IRC Bot with dynamic loaded extensions etc in C++ and a prototype of a C++ Webframework similar to spring (including a custom C++ header parsers to generate reflection information for dynamic bean instantiation based on a XML file

10/24/2018, 5:59 PMI transitioned away from C++ before I was doing web oriented development.
stalbert
10/24/2018, 5:59 PMI imagine using C++ for web dev would be interesting
