I did a short stint of Scala programming and I didn't like it.
The last straw was when I spent a few days debugging something involving actors that the author of the code didn't understand. It took 15 minutes to reimplement this flawlessly with Java's ExecutorService and that handled all the tough problems like error handling.
I learned a lot from Scala that I carried into my Java programming, but I wouldn't start a project in Scala.

I like scala but the compiler is slooooooooow. The tooling needs work before it can be main stream.
