There have always been a lot of hype and ambiguous judgments around the Scala language.
Now the debate has subsided, but there were messages on Twitter about the departure of some significant participants from companies actively developing the Scala language ecosystem. In this connection, once again there was talk that Scala is everything.
In response to this, one of the very active members of the community (Li Haoyi) described his vision of the future path of the Scala language.
He got an interesting article, so I decided to translate it.
