Scala’s static types help avoid bugs in complex applications, and its JVM and JavaScript runtimes let you build high-performance systems with easy access to huge ecosystems of libraries”. This is how Scala official website introduces the language to the world. In this blog, I will try to make this introduction some way simpler with a taste of real Scala examples, note that I’m assuming a general knowledge of other object-oriented languages like Java or C# but no functional programming knowledge is ok.
