The biggest strength of Scala is that it provides a beautiful blend of object-oriented programming and Functional programming. So, you can not only construct elegant class hierarchies for maximum code reuse and extensibility, but you can also implement their behavior using higher-order functions. It has a concise syntax with less ceremony, which also makes it ideal for scripting but doesn't underestimate its power. Like Java, Scala has also used for mission-critical applications by technical giants like Twitter, LinkedIn, and Intel. Let's be honest, learning Scala is not easy, even for experienced Java programmers. When I started learning Scala, the syntax looks quite different to me. Being used to the verbose style of Java, the brevity of Scala looks cryptic to me, but once I learned, that brevity is what I liked most. Another challenge while learning Scala ...

Since tremendous works have already been done in the form of open source framework and library in Java, it's best to reuse them, rather than creating a separate set for Scala. Out of several differences, one of the main difference between Scala and Java is its ability to take advantage of Functional programming paradigm and m...
