I always thought scala native to be a bit of distraction after graalvm went mainstream. Don't know why people do not like working with language that can combine better parts of Java Haskell Ruby and Erlang. Having said that, Scala is Scala, and people who are writing Haskell or Java code in Scala certainly not writing Scala

For me, one of the joys of Scala is that you can use different paradigms and mix them up as convenient. Haskell Scala is still Scala and so is Java Scala!


I do that too, but to a degree. For example, I avoid monad transformers, fully automatic derivations, pretty much anything that requires line long type signatures
