Agree completely with everything you said and your observations regarding job market. I’ve been doing Scala for a few years and I also would not recommend it to anyone unless they have a deep desire to do pure FP(functional programming) on the JVM. The ecosystem/libraries are unnecessarily complex IMHO.
If you want FP-Lite, I recommend Kotlin, it’s very pragmatic, reasonably functional. I actually converted all my personal projects from Scala to Kotlin, including my framework https://github.com/slatekit/slatekit which took about a 4-6 weeks from the original code base.
