Rebecca Ely Interview
summary
Works on the Spark and NoSQL platform at Bloomberg, which claims to own and process more financial data than any other organization, so scale is a concrete constraint. Joined a year and a half ago after knowing only Python and JavaScript and after seven months with Scala last year reports spending far less time debugging because Scala/functional programming plus the compiler and IDE catch errors early, finds functional style easier for reasoning, and credits the conference with building a lasting Scala community.
