GitHub user zuozhiw added a comment to the discussion: Scala vs. Java: What's the future?
Hi @asadya2 appreciate the effort and interest in the Texera project. First, mix scala/java code is actually quite common in OSS projects, e.g. both Apache Spark and Apache Flink, two very popular data processing frameworks, are mixed Java/Scala projects, with lots of important code written in Scala. E.g. Spark's catalyst optimizer is almost entirely in Scala, as it benefits from Scala's more concise syntax. Second, we are open to contributions to both Scala and Java, if an existing piece of code works well in Scala, unfortunately it doesn't make too much sense to migrate them to a different language just for the sake of migrations, in the meantime, there are some starter tasks available, if there's a desire to find more starter tasks, we would encourage contributors to play with the system. The system still has lots of rooms for improvements. Thanks!
