Thanks for the response. I agree with your thoughts on hiring. I'm one of those guys who came in and learned Scala. The initial reason for my team using Scala was, "Why not?" Since that time, my colleague who hired me has left the company and I have been the lone engineer on the team.
We're currently looking to hire a second engineer and have also been rethinking the direction of the data engineering team. Changing the language to Python was a suggestion for the hiring factor and because it is the popular language for data engineering. Scala has been a fun language over the last year and a half and I wouldn't mind sticking with it because it has been fun. For that reason, I have spent time comparing the two languages for data engineering and haven't come to a consensus on which one is ideal for my team.
