The story of moving from Scala to Go at CrowdStrike, from the lead engineer who introduced Scala.
I particularly liked this bit from the article about the two camps of Scala developers:
I tried Scala out a while back for the Stripe CTF, but didn't get very far because of the compile times and the obtuse syntax (for someone used to imperative languages). It took 180 seconds just to compile a very simple program on a server because of the dependencies. The equivalent in go compiled in under a second, which meant it was much easier to experiment with.
It can be really elegant and concise though.
