• One of the highest salaries in the IT business – according to 2020 Developer Survey by StackOverflow, Scala Developers are considered the most valuable, they are paid the most (https://insights.dice.com/2020/06/04/24-programming-languages-pay-top-salaries-scala/) 
• Scala is in the top 10 languages developers want to learn (listed 6th – a go-to language for Developers – according to 2020 HackerRank Developer Skills Report, 18.7% of developers would like to learn Scala
• With Scala, you can encode the same tasks as in Java in a much cleaner and more concise way. Less boilerplate means less noise in your code which dramatically improves code readability. 
• Scala provides interoperability and compatibility with Java, which means Java developers can keep their libraries and gradually migrate their codebases.
• So why would you use Scala instead of Java for the JVM? Scala gives you more powerful tools to abstract which enables you to focus on the intent instead of the mechanics.
• Modern applications should take advantage of multicore machines they’re running on. Scala gives you powerful abstractions to execute code in parallel with the built-in Future (thread-based model) or effect system libraries (fiber-based model).
