Scala is just too complex, the tooling too slow, and the community had way too many breaking changes.

I went through a Scala book with a reading group. Lots of incredulity all around. Much more than the Java concurrency book, which wasn't easy either.

An 'academic' language if ever there was one.

But I recall it as the first vaguely Erlang-like language on the JVM, so whenever something about threading comes up I recall it.

I'm learning Elixir instead.
