Why Scala?

This speaker is a serial language enthusiast who has programmed in many languages for both work and personal projects. For their work at Twitter, they were looking to move away from primarily using Ruby due to performance and cultural issues it presented for building large systems. They settled on adopting Scala at Twitter as it met their personal criteria of being fast, functional, expressive, statically typed, concurrent, and beautiful to work with.
