I wonder to what extent the use of Scala at an organization is a "red flag". No disrespect to the language. I've used it a couple times and if you're all in on FP then it's probably the way to go.
But say you're interviewing for a job - what does it say about an organization if they've picked a somewhat obscure, academic tool to build their product? They are probably exceedingly clever, but are you in for long technical debates about arcane minutiae? Are they stubborn and uncompromising? Do they make impractical technical decisions?
