What is Scala?
Scala is an acronym for Scalable Language. This
means that Scala grows with you. You can play
with it by typing one-line expressions and
observing the results. But you can also rely on it
for large mission critical systems, as many
companies, including Twitter, LinkedIn, or Intel
do.

Object-functional Programming
Language
Scala is a pure-bred object-oriented language. Conceptually,
every value is an object and every operation is a method-call.
The language supports advanced component architectures
through classes and traits.
Even though its syntax is fairly conventional, Scala is also a
full-blown functional language. It has everything you would
expect, including first-class functions, a library with efficient
immutable data structures, and a general preference of
immutability over mutation.

What is type System?

A type system is a tractable syntactic method for
proving the absence of certain program behaviors by
classifying phrases according to the kinds of values
they compute. Benjamin Piercejeudi

What is Type?
A Type denes a set of values a variable can
posses and a set of functions that can be
applied to these values.
In Functional Languages like Scala, a Function
is also a Type that can be assigned to a
variable.

Internal DSLs in Scala

Domain-Specific Language A Domain-Specific Language is a
programming language or executable specification language
that offers, through appropriate notations and abstractions,
expressive power focused on, and usually restricted to, a
particular problem domain.
Examples of DSLs :
HTML
Verilog and VHDL hardware description languages
Mata for matrix programming
Mathematica and Maxima for symbolic mathematics
Spreadsheet formulas and macros

Seamless Java Interop

Scala runs on the JVM. Java and Scala classes can be
freely mixed, no matter whether they reside in
different projects or in the same. They can even
mutually refer to each other, the Scala compiler
contains a subset of a Java compiler to make sense of
such recursive dependencies.
