At Zalando we have an account per team, and have been releasing a bunch of tooling to help do this securely.[1] It's not completely easy (e.g., account creation at Amazon can not be automated), but the security aspects are really nice,

The xml stuff is more the exception than the rule. They've moved away from that approach. Whether to keep it at all has been discussed quite a bit. It would be more fair to look at the newer code in the collection framework to paint what is

The people who actually manage to write a few thousands lines of Scala (and end up happy), are great people to code with (or hire) in my experience. It's easier to better engineer complicated things in simple ways when you are less encumber

C# isn't a realistic option for a lot of people with big investments in the JVM. It is clearly an interesting language, but, it's no F#. Obviously there are no silver bullets that make software development easy. But after having written a

One reason for not having return, has to do with symmetry, which Scala is full of. For example, val x = if(foo) { a } else { b } This is a lot nicer than the alternatives, and I suppose you could force people to write: val x = if (foo) { re
