Scala is the perfect example of why you want to limit expressivity. It's seems so cool and awesome at first, but then you have to support a code base with other engineers and you quickly come to the view that go's limited expressivity is a blessing.

Hilariously I was using a gen AI (phind) and asked it to generate some scala code and it no joke suggested the code in both implematic scala and in java style, and all you had to do is look at it and you could see java style was 1000X easier to read/maintain.

Well, flexibility has its price. And yeah, if you need to work in a team that uses a very different style, then you won't like it.

On the other hand, if you carefully select your team or work alone, then this is not a problem at all.

Btw, there isn't really "one" idiomatic scala style - therefore I tend to believe that you are not familiar with the language and the community.

That is their point. There's too many styles.
