Scala is a multi-paradigm programming language that runs on the JVM and combines object-oriented and functional programming. It is statically typed but has type inference for concise syntax. Scala is fully interoperable with Java and was created by Martin Odersky in 2003. Key features include classes, objects, traits, immutability by default, case classes, functional collections, and optional values to avoid null pointers.
