Python developers trying out scala - how has it been?

• scala-cli

  34 504 9.7 Scala

  Scala CLI is a command-line tool to interact with the Scala language. It lets you compile, run, test, and package your Scala code (and more!)

  

As a scripting language, Python is still slightly better than Scala. scala-cli narrows the gap quite a fair bit but Python produces faster more portable scripts (as every linux box comes with python pre-installed).

  Scala Center's solution of Advent of Code

  

As a general-purpose, high-level language: Scala is so much better than Python. The data structures in Scala's collections are so well thought out, and more expressive than their Python equivalents. As a fun exercise, I recommend trying out the coding puzzles from adventofcode, and comparing how you would have written the solutions in Python vs Scala.

• InfluxDB
