Get Programming with Scala is a fast-paced introduction to the Scala language, covering both Scala 2 and Scala 3. You’ll learn through lessons, quizzes, and hands-on projects that bring your new skills to life.

Clear explanations make Scala’s features and abstractions easy to understand. As you go, you’ll learn to write familiar object-oriented code in Scala and also discover the possibilities of functional programming.

I don’t really follow Scala news but… is Scala 3 out already?

The book looks good (most “Get Programming with…” titles are!) and I’ll certainly give it a read once I convince myself to get into Scala.

Yep. I use scala as a java repl surprisingly often and it updated not too long ago to scala 3. ^.^

What do you think about Scala?

I encountered Scala snippets when reading the book Functional and Reactive Domain modeling and felt like it had a rather powerful type system (I translated things to Elixir though so language was of little importance).

For working on the JVM I love scala and it is my preferred way. I’ve made a number of things in it, though when possible I don’t work on the JVM. ^.^;

I hold the same sentiment about JVM. Though my preferred language in that world is Clojure (it’s been a while though). Never worked with Scala or Kotlin, both of which people seem to love.
