Scala is a type-safe JVM (Java Virtual Machine) language launched by Martin Odersky in 2003. It combines both object-oriented and functional programming paradigms into a concise and logical high-level language. Scala is sometimes viewed as an attempt to create a better version of Java, and rightly so. While developing Scala, the main focus remained on eliminating Java’s limitations that made it tedious and stringent. Naturally, there’s a notable difference between Scala and Java’s syntax and paradigms.

Today we’ll take a more in-depth look into Scala’s unique aspects by pitting it against Java and exploring the differences between Scala and Java.
