+
+Besides Java, Scala is the most mature language on the Java Virtual Machine. Its unique blend of object-oriented and functional language features and rich type system with advanced type inference enables one to write concise code.
+
+It is fully interoperable with Java but has a big ecosystem of tools and frameworks on its own.
+
+Scala provides one of the best high-level concurrency- and async features on the language level as well as on the framework level, making it the default choice of twitter and the like.
+
+At AOE, we already use Scala in various projects to create scalable backend systems (Play, Akka) or for batch processing (Spark).
