Scala (/ˈskɑːlə/ SKAH-lə) is an object-functional programming and scripting language for general software applications statically typed. Scala has full support for functional programming (including currying pattern matching algebraic data types lazy evaluation tail recursion immutability etc.) and a very strong type system. This allows programs written in Scala to be very concise and thus smaller in size than most general purpose programming languages.
