Why Use Scala Script to Build a Digital Platform

The key benefit of using programming language Scala to build a digital platform is a feature called Type Safety, which allows for better and faster testing because it allows detecting "errors while writing the code," before running it, according to Jason Brown, CEO and co-founder of fintech Tally. In this latest episode of Fintech Unfiltered podcast, Brown explained that Scala is an important, but underrated, layer to develop a cloud-based platform for financial services because of its ability to allow for "faster and better," testing, efficient code compiling and scalability. This "modern programming language," is designed to work within the Java script ecosystem, and although it is not meant to replace Java, it can enhance many features of programming and coding including accuracy and testing, he said.
