I agree. IMO, Scala can be written in Li Haoyi's way and it's a pleasure to work with. However, the FP and Effect Scala people are too loud and too smart that if I write Scala in Li Haoyi's way, I feel like I'm too stupid. I like Rust because of no GC, no VM and memory safe. If Rust has features that a Joe java programmer like me can't understand, I guess it'll be like Scala.
