Yup, 2 spaces is the Scala "standard".

FP with type inference tends to give more nesting, but less boilerplate.  So
nested blocks are far shorter and you don't need as much indentation to keep
track of where you are, plus you avoid a lot of horizontal scroll when
nesting deeply.

I'm also tending to favour 2 spaces when I write Java nowadays, I find it
helps distinguish my newer code from the older stuff - which was much more
imperative.

regard them as "lines produced" but as "lines spent": the current
conventional wisdom is so foolish as to book that count on the wrong side of
the ledger" ~ Dijkstra
