This is awesome. Rust wearing full plate armor to dinner is hilarious... Also what's up with Scala? lmao

Well, obviously she was already in full plate armor when her friends called, so why take it out?

I assume Scala is like a "gateway" (drug) to functional programming by way of also supporting imperative and object oriented paradigms.

Probably more importantly, it runs on the JVM and is designed to interoperate with existing Java code. (FWIW, I actually think they made a major mistake in how they handle null Java objects, and that Kotlin did better here; but Kotlin is much newer.)
