I have been using Scala with Spark for our enterprise project for over 4 years now! Its no joke how good and expressive this language is. Gets the same work done in very short periods of development cycle compare to java/Python(PySpark)
@@GreatTaiwan It is the same code experience and basically the as fast as pyspark if you just use the SQL API of spark.

Few things will expand your mind as much as learning Scala will. This video scratched the surface. If you have any questions about Scala, we're very happy to help. ✌
I keep hearing about "implicits". Can you explain what that's about? Like what it is, what kind of problem it helps to solve and maybe also how it helps the programmer
@@holonautif you declare a function, you can use an implicit argument, so you don't have to explicitly pass that argument every time you call the function. For example, in spark SQL you have one SparkSession that can be used in many functions, so you can just declare It as an implicit argument on those functions and when you call It, the function will find it by itself.
Learning a functional language really helped with my OO programming. I think Scala is great and so many of of it's ideas, like pattern matching now in python, option class now in Java, etc have really pushed things forward. As well as Spark being amazing. As well as all the iteration types that you have to use lodash or itertools in other languages. They are just there.
I LOVED scala back when I worked with it. It led me to think functional, served to introduce me to high math concepts, and led me to look up computer science history (props to Philip Walder and his Strange Loop talks!!). Scala was my first functional language ignoring a highly discounted JS as a functional language. I mostly write golang, C#, various other devops languages but my time with scala taught me valuable lessons.
Some things that might have made the cut if you had 200 seconds: Scala IDEs have a feature called Scala Worksheets that is basically a multiline REPL which I haven't seen anywhere else and is really nice for beginners. Scala 3 has optional indentation based/Python style block syntax Scala can also compile to JS or to native code via an LLVM based compiler, although you lose access to much of the ecosystem when you do so.
@@holonaut every line that returns a value gets printed without having to say println() and the result prints right next to the corresponding line. So it's a two column interface. Left column for your code, right column for output.
Scala's insane flexibility is really cool, I've had a couple years of experience in Chisel, which is an embedded language within Scala. When the code runs, it elaborates into a structure that represents hardware and outputs into something called Firrtl, which then can be compiled into Verilog. It's a really cool tool.
also just gotta say one of the things that keeps me going every day as a product manager for live service videogames is watching one of these and asking at our next sync dead serious "is this a problem [language in 100 seconds] can solve?" for our copy-pasted unity game. there is something about seeing someone reach lower than me that just keeps the little flame in my heart alive, and sometimes one of the devs will reach out, ask me I'm a Fireship fan, and then die just that tiny bit more inside when I tell them I don't use Amazon products
Scala was the only language that had all the features I needed to construct an easy to use library that does arithmetic with surreal numbers. I love it and I don't use it enough.
Scala was the first programming language I really fell in love with. Even though I have by necessity been using other languages, I have warm feelings towards Scala and I hope that one day I can work with Scala again.
Scala is an awesome language. For all data engineers out there using PySpark, try out scala and you will most definitely fall in love with it (plus it comes with the Dataset API which is like a typed Dataframe). Highly recommend it. But be advised: if you ever use var, I will hunt you down
Scala is one of those languages you start very excited about. Its type system, the mix between OOP and functional programming, the reflection stuff. Then...you have to understand very complicated and over-abstracted code written in it and you can finally see why people love the simplicity of GoLang.
@@Uerdue I know that your message was sarcastic but let me tell you: I love assembly. Writing a game for the original gameboy in assembly was one of the best coding experiences I've had.
Unfortunately Kotlin is just a better Java. Scala is much more. I could never use a language again which uses statements instead of expressions. Maybe Scala is too much for some people but I love it.
rust definitely has some inspiration from scala, they are probably my top two languages. there is some other weirdness to wrap your head round tho, like implicits, and it has higher kinded types and other haskelly things which has the potential to make code very abstract and potentially hard to understand if you don't have a lot of functional programming experience
Kinda! Interestingly, Scala has an experimental feature now called "Caprese" (for "CAPabilities for RESources and Effects") - which introduces declared and checked restrictions, looks a tiny bit like Rust's lifetimes, but is about declaring and capturing capabilities (for impure effects, including resource handling). Still in its infancy - but fascinating concept nevertheless.
@@paw565 it is only simple when it fits exactly what you need perfectly, and even then theres a lot of magic behind the scenes in my case it was easy, i wanted a non blocking no update loop mmorpg, and so each player and npc and interactable object is an actor, and it works really really well!
@@albi7894 whatchu doin with it? and ye i would never trust my job to make the correct call on where / when to use akka, i feel like theyd shove it in stuff where it doesnt belong
Martin Odersky is brilliant guy. I love his statement about local mutation not being a big problem, but global mutation being bad. It's a good compromise.
Late versions of Scala 2 introduced experimental macros api. And it was in experimental state for so long, that whole ecosystem started to heavily depend on them. With Scala 3 they completely changed how macros work and broke back compatibility. It took multiple years to rewrite most important things to Scala 3 macros, in recent years I hear more and more about teams using Scala 3 in production, so, soon you will see more Scala 3 focused tutorials.
Scala 2 is BY FAR more popular in existing code. For the record, the migration to Scala 3 is nowhere near as painful as the Python situation because of a crazy strong type system. New projects may be developed in Scala 3 but 2.x is still a great language and it's actively maintained :)
@@kubukoz_ if your code doesn't depend on outdated macros, than yes. Scala 3 migration is very easy. But for a long time after release simple things like circe json serialization wasn't working on Scala 3.
Scala is a beast of a functional language. Up there with Haskell in terms of expressive power, and lacking the restrictions which generally keep Haskell code sane-ish. It's really cool to see some of the things it can be used for.
By the time Intellij created Kotlin they had years of experience with Scala due to their work on the Scala plugin for Intellij. I think I read somewhere they, actually considered using Scala for development of Intellij, but decided to create their own language, due to their unique requirements of having to be compatible with old jvm versions (at the beginning going as far back as java 6), which Scala didn't support
I had a Scala course at uni, and I think it was the best language I've ever used. It's amazing, I don't know why, but something about it just made me immediately fall in love with it and makes me want to pursue a career using that language. Too bad there are not many scala developers positions, especially with no experience
Finally! I'm using Scala in my job everyday. It may look difficult to learn, but I think it's just because people are not used to the functional programming paradigm. It's not that hard, and you get a lot of safety directly from the type system, and thus at compile time. One of the main ideas in scala is to try to catch errors at compile time instead of at runtime, and thus through monad (hence the Option, Try, Future, etc...) Monads scare people but it's just a wrapper around data, and through the wrapper you have access to features and composition.
a decade ago I came near to learning this esoteric language. its conciseness it's also it's curse, in 15 lines you can express the sense of life, and reading that in a year makes you die inside
"Rock the JVM" has almost everything you need on RUclips - plus accompanying articles. The official documentation isn't bad either - and I would definitely recommend looking into the ZIO ecosystem.
Should mention the trend of "scalaification" of many common langauges lol. Btw Scala's name means "Scalable Language" in the sense of scaling to a team's needs for a language, i.e. creating DSLs.

Have tried Scala with Akka before (framework for parallel computing). Can really reccomend it. Akka is also availabe for Java and it's really funny to compare the code examples in the docs from Java and Scala and see how a lot of the times 8 lines of Scala can do the same as 25 lines of Java.
using Akka/Pekko for parallel computing is like using a nuclear engine to power a single lightbulb. There are far simpler tools you can use for that. If you want distributed stateful systems, though... yeah you want something like akka cluster :)

@@Nojipiz got em
That’s why I use shell scripts to write everything. Simple, effective and has basically 99% support.
Time to add Scala to my resume. Thanks, Mr. Ship!
Lets maybe not abreviate Functional Programming Language as "FUN" and put it under Scheme, dont want to miss lead people
Have tried Scala with Akka before (framework for parallel computing). Can really reccomend it.
Akka is also availabe for Java and it's really funny to compare the code examples in the docs from Java and Scala and see how a lot of the times 8 lines of Scala can do the same as 25 lines of Java.
Pekkos now. Akka changed their licence
using Akka/Pekko for parallel computing is like using a nuclear engine to power a single lightbulb. There are far simpler tools you can use for that.
If you want distributed stateful systems, though... yeah you want something like akka cluster :)
kotlin has everything mentioned here and some of it is more concise...so far kotlin feels like scala++
Scala added to my resume
i use arch btw
I thought I didn't care about Scala but each sentence you just said made me like it more and more
First
U got it first 😢
fk me
A video about Scala? I legit checked the date to see if I was transported back to 2014.
No views in 16 seconds. Bro fell off. 😢
The only channel I'm waiting notifications from
This feels like the first truly intutive programming language I've come across
finally, found a review in scala! been training with the language itself for 4 weeks now.
wow finally some recognition from popular youtube channel! everyone need to move to scala now!
That's a weird ass syntax with Scala and makes sense at the same time
