What’s Inside:
Scala adoption is strong but faces hurdles
High developer satisfaction contrasts with hiring challenges and slow Scala 3 adoption; better onboarding, tooling, and migration support are on the way.

Ecosystem fragmentation slows progress
Competing frameworks and abandoned libraries create friction; new standardization efforts and curated library support could simplify development.

Talent shortage and complexity block growth
The learning curve limits junior inflow into Scala and makes hiring difficult; improved documentation, onboarding tools, and training initiatives could bridge the gap.
