It's easy to blame the user, but the fact is that there are languages designed in good taste and languages designed in bad taste. I'd argue C++ is an example of the latter, with its panoply of awkward non-orthogonal features. It's quite possible that Scala is too, and that it's not just the user's fault.


I'd consider that Scala is pretty much on the “good taste” side.

The features are very orthogonal and thought-out and much of the old legacy cruft is removed.


I don't know how you can consider Scala's features as being orthogonal.


Because I actually have used it, which separates me from “experts” like Colebourne.
