Scala ( / ˈ s k ɑː l ə / SKAH -lə ) [6] is an object-functional [7] programming language for general software applications . Scala has full support for functional programming and a very strong static type system . This allows programs written in Scala to be very concise and thus smaller in size than other general-purpose programming languages . Many of Scala's design decisions were inspired by criticism over the shortcomings of Java . [5]

Scala ( / ˈ s k ɑː l ə / SKAH -lə ) is an object-functional programming and scripting language for general software applications , statically typed , designed to concisely express solutions in an elegant, [6] type-safe and lightweight (low ceremonial) manner. Scala has full support for functional programming (including currying , pattern matching , algebraic data types , lazy evaluation , tail recursion , immutability , etc.). It cleans up what are often considered poor design decisions in Java (such as type erasure , checked exceptions , the non- unified type system ) and adds a number of other features designed to allow cleaner, more concise and more expressive code to be written.

Scala ( / [invalid input: 'icon'] ˈ s k ɑː l ə / SKAH -lə ) is a multi-paradigm programming language designed as a "better Java " — building on top of the Java virtual machine (JVM) and maintaining strong interoperability with Java, while at the same time integrating functional programming along with Java's object-oriented programming model, cleaning up what are often considered to have been poor design decisions in Java (e.g. type erasure , checked exceptions and the non-unified type system) and adding a number of other features designed to allow cleaner, more concise and more expressive code to be written.

Scala ( / [invalid input: 'icon'] ˈ s k ɑː l ə / SKAH -lə ) is a multi-paradigm programming language designed to integrate features of object-oriented programming and functional programming . [2] The name Scala is a portmanteau of "scalable" and "language", signifying that it is designed to grow with the demands of its users. James Strachan , the creator of Groovy , described Scala as a possible successor to Java . [3]

Scala ( Scalable Language ) is a multi-paradigm programming language designed to integrate features of object-oriented programming and functional programming . [1] Scala is similar to the Java programming language , runs on the Java Virtual Machine and is compatible with existing Java programs. An alternative implementation exists for the .NET platform .
