Relative to the prior year's edition of the survey, Scala's use among alternative JVM languages fell from 28.4% to 21.5%, overtaken by Kotlin, which rose from 11.4% in 2017 to 28.8% in 2018. The Popularity of Programming Language Index, [ 144 ] which tracks searches for language tutorials, ranked Scala 15th in April 2018 with a small downward ...

Scala normally manages the memory automatically in its JVM and JavaScript targets. However, the LLVM-based Scala Native compiler supports the use of pointers, as well as C-style heap allocation (e.g. malloc, realloc, free) and stack allocation (stackalloc). [22]
sbt is the de facto build tool in the Scala community, [6] used, for example, by the Scala 2 and Scala 3 compilers themselves, [7] [8] Play Framework, and Lichess, a popular chess server. The sbt project is "bootstrapped" — it uses sbt to build itself and considers dogfooding a positive feature.
In 2018, Kotlin was the fastest growing language on GitHub, with 2.6 times more developers compared to 2017. [54] It is the fourth most loved programming language according to the 2020 Stack Overflow Developer Survey. [55] Kotlin was also awarded the O'Reilly Open Source Software Conference Breakout Award for 2019. [56]
Off-side rule languages: Boo, Cobra, CoffeeScript, F#, Haskell (in do-notation when braces are omitted), LiveScript, occam, Python, Nemerle (Optional; the user may use white-space sensitive syntax instead of the curly-brace syntax if they so desire), Nim, Scala (Optional, as in Nemerle)
Futures can easily be implemented in channels: a future is a one-element channel, and a promise is a process that sends to the channel, fulfilling the future. [104] [105] This allows futures to be implemented in concurrent programming languages with support for channels, such as CSP and Go. The resulting futures are explicit, as they must be ...
Play Framework is an open-source web application framework which follows the model–view–controller (MVC) architectural pattern.It is written in Scala and usable from other programming languages that are compiled to JVM bytecode, e.g. Java.
