F# but not Scala? In TFA F# is only lacking in community and ecosystem. Scala is comparable in popularity to Go or Rust and has access to the entire Java ecosystem and JVM runtime. That should give it the five stars the author is looking for but its not considered.

I think a lot of devs are missing out by not considering Scala 3. I use it with the Zio effect system which brings composable concurrency and transactional memory amongst other features. I don't think there is anything comparable in any of the languages listed in TFA.

Do you have any numbers to back you up? That statement sounds very, very wrong to me
