The worst stuff I've ever heard about Scala, apart from compile-speed anecdotes, is "Scala Collections: Why Not?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiJycy6dFSQ . It's really hard to imagine a macro problem more off-putting than this video.
```scala scala> List(1, 2, 3).toSet() res0: Boolean = false scala> List(1, 2, 3) contains "your mom" res2: Boolean = false ```
