" summary

Panel summarizes where Scala actually is: Scala 3 offers binary compatibility with 2.13, safer implicits, union types and a new metaprogramming model that reduce footguns; migration tools include Scala CLI and a Scala Center migration course but large codebases (one org mentions 22 million lines of code) face multi‑year migrations. Biggest ecosystem gaps are fragmented libraries, limited industrial evangelism, and onboarding stacks; priorities are better IDE/tool stability (Metals/bloop), clearer starter stacks, more beginner‑focused talks, and more company engagement and contributions to upstream OSS.
