As a python developer, how easy is it to learn scala?

[–] u_tamtam@programming.dev 4 points 1 week ago

About as easy, if not easier, if all it boils down to is to tape together libraries and business code. There you essentially get python with types.

Where Scala's complexity steeply increases is when you build libraries and interfaces for others: it gives you lots of very abstract and powerful tools that can give beginners an overwhelming impression that the language is infinite. It is not, and you will learn those concepts in time, no rush.
