Scala: A Scalable way to write Web Applications
by Alex Podyachev

Abstract:
Scala is a JVM-based programming language that seamlessly combines functional and object-oriented paradigms. It is fully interoperable with Java, allowing developers to use existing Java libraries and frameworks. Compared to Java, Scala offers a more concise and expressive syntax, along with powerful features such as higher-order functions, type inference, and pattern matching.
