Where does Microsoft use Scala?

Or every bank out there?

Machine learning:

- https://microsoft.github.io/SynapseML/

And Microsoft of course owns LinkedIn which is built on a Scala backend.

Small projects, most of the stuff they do in ML is based on C++ and Python. Hence why they hired Guido and are putting money into optimising CPython.

LinkedIn is a separate entity, even if owned by Microsoft.

Zero Scala content at BUILD.

What about the banking world across the globe, no numbers?

Just search any job board for 'spark', you will see plenty of banks and many other companies.

Plenty of banks isn't every bank.

Those are just the ones you will see from a random sample of job postings. There are many others out there that are not posted at any given moment. If you don't believe me just talk to any data scientist who has worked at or does work at a bank.

Those busy using R, Python, Excel, alongside PowerBI and Tableau?

No, the ones using Spark. Do keep up!

It's a bad sign if use of a language is tied to a singular framework such as Spark or Rails.

The next fad is in, the language is out.

Interesting, then Java is in trouble I guess because it's mostly tied to Spring Boot?

It's not. Maybe it's selection bias: I don't see it around that much.

It is a bit hard when after all isn't every bank as originally described.

Need to move that goalpost around.

Nothing gets past you, Mr Literal!
