    So many former Scala and Haskell developers moved to Rust.

    Rust is currently more famous and widely adopted than Scala ever was.

      Found no reason to subject myself to the jvm and corporate ethos once rust came out but Scala was pretty sweet for the hot second I was using it

        Scala gives you an immense freedom and you can do things in many, many ways.

        The problem is that when you work in an enterprise project, you need people to write idiomatic code.

        In Scala, it is not clear what idiomatic code looks like. Imperative and object oriented? With higher order functions? Or fully functional with monads and monad transformers?
