The problem with scala is that the docs were too late to come.

Those who put them out are geniuses (props Cats ppl, ZIO too) - but it seems it is now too late. You know there’s irony that alot of the earlier docs were based on haskell books, too.

Its not the math. Look at haskell’s freenode presense vs scala’s. Scala’s a 6th of haskell. What haskell had over scala is docs and community.

Scala was just too late, and my coworkers are all whispering Kotlin. It’s a real shame.

Irony edit: i actually maintain a scala codebase at work, one of two under thirty other devs who do, and me and one of the major players in the team were talking about this only two days ago. Sort of a sad kind of funny.
