Hey, I loved this article! I am also a new one to start learning Scala programming from hackr.io/tutorials/learn-scala Can you tell me what's the scope of this programming language as a future point of view.

Hi! Glad you liked it:)

What do you mean by scope of the language exactly? What you typically do with it?

Well most people use it for back end development although there are some options for front end like Scala.js.

I used it heavily with Apache Spark, as data analysis and functional programming are a nice combination IMO.

Does that answer your question? In the end it's not so much about the art, but the artist (or not the tools but what you make with them).

Cheers

Hi! :)
It probably not so relevant anymore, but for future generations:
I think it's a good practice to research topics like that via jobs openings. A great start might be stackoverflow.com/jobs, for example
Cheers
