This made me chuckle.
Aside: Scala dev here - but I only talk about how wonderful it is with people I trust (mostly Go and Rust developers I used to work with).
Also, Scala Native means I don’t always have to worry about the JVM depending on the use case.
ScalaJS is fun too.

Golang is faster and use way less memory than Java, never wonder why you never see Kubernetes controller / sidecar is Java?
As for Scala it's pretty much a dead language, no one work with it and it's impossible to find dev for it.
10 years ago I was moving Scala code back to regular Java.
