I don't think this comment reflects reality. A few issues:

* Complaints about tooling and ecosystem were valid maybe 10 years ago, but not now.

* You don't say what your point of comparison is. (weaker than what?)

* Performance has never been an issue for general programming tasks

* You disregard the value that language brings

* Running functional programs on a CPU has not been an issue since, roughly, the 1970s when the basics of compiling FP languages were worked out.

None of that answered the question of what's the value proposition is, while also missing the point of several criticism.

		The Scala value prop is a modern programming language (= safer, more correct code, which implies faster development) + access to the JVM and JS ecosystems (and WASM and Native in more nascent states.) Given your comment about stateful CPUs I imagine you don't think programming languages are particularly important. Not everyone does, but opinions do differ on that. > also missing the point of several criticism I can't correct my misunderstandings if you don't state what they are.
