What is scala
Scala is one of several programming languages that run on the Java platform, the Java Virtual Machine.  Other languages include Groovy, Clojure, Jython and JRuby.

Scala is referred to as a multi-paradigm language as it supports both object oriented and functional programming features. and is statically typed. 

Scala has very powerful type system

Scala is a general purpose programming language designed to express common programming patterns in a concise, elegant, and type-safe way. It smoothly integrates features of object-oriented and functional languages, enabling Java and other programmers to be more productive. Code sizes are typically reduced by a factor of two to three when compared to an equivalent Java application.
