I had to work with Scala in one class in college and my goodness did I absolutely hate it. I didn't know you could make Java worse, but they found a way.

Nothing against the people making tutorials ofc, I just hated the language.

I'm surprised. Usually, the gripes are the compile times or the lack of tooling compared to other languages. For functional programming its quite expressive. ZIO and Typelevel Cats.

Funnily enough, as someone who absolutely hated my Java classes in college and ending up in a job that made me learn Scala, I just appreciated it as Java but better.
