I write Scala code for a living. Scala may not be the best language at anything but it’s extremely good at everything. It’s extremely versatile and easy to fall in love with. It’s really unopinionated and has a number of sub-ecosystems that are super cool but it makes it hard for newcomers to navigate it. It attracts passionate and clever people, but as a result comes with a (rightful) reputation of being hard/expensive to hire for.
Its curse is that it’s the most niche mainstream language, or the most mainstream niche language.
I’m confused as to why the head of state of a country would bother visiting a convicted felon.
