Scala (/ˈskɑːlɑː/ SKAH-lah) combines object-oriented and functional programming in one concise, high-level language. Scala's static types help avoid bugs in complex applications, and its JVM and JavaScript runtimes let you build high-performance systems with easy access to huge ecosystems of libraries.

Since its public release in 2004, it has increased in popularity.

Some of the top companies using Scala today are:

LinkedIn

Twitter

Netflix

Tumblr

Foursquare

AirBnB
