That is why I actually like Scala. I want every tool to be available at my disposal, and I can choose what to use or not use. I want it to be reasonably succinct and type safe.

I don't want the language to dictate how I use it. I'd prefer the language not to look out for me. There might be some, but a lot of languages look out way too much. Golang for example doesn't allow you to compile if there is an unused var. Java with private as the default.

It is great that there is a production-ready language that differs from other languages.
