Scala is as horrible as Java. Been using Java at uni and once having discovered the simplicity and beauty of other languages (Python, golang), never went back.

Currently trying some apache projects (kafka streams, apache flink) where Scala is native. Same crap as Java. Needs 10x lines to write the same thing, abstraction over abstraction, and intuitive = 0. Why tf did it even got invented?

Java was created in the middle of the OOP hype and made many ugly compromises between syntax and language features. It has C++ like syntax, which is meant to attract people who are familiar with it. And it has this simplicity at the surface of it, that can be summarized as "everything is an object". Which should attract those who find other languages too complicated.

That’s why it was invented.
I dislike it for being a boilerplate driven mess but I see how and why it was popular among code monkeys.

I feel ya .... The struggle is real.

I can definitely tell you are using it wrong specially if you use it with OOP paradigms

Wrong tags though, devrant tag is for website related stuff.

I think this classifies as normal rant, since you did mention how horrible java is! (I like java, but I don't hate any language aside from PHP)

@Hazarth not just the website but devrant in general. The social network devrant.
