I wish nested methods were more like how `where` works in haskell (lovely underrated feature of the language: scope your function from most general to most specific in terms of readability)
what's your least favorite Scala feature that you see popping up in otherwise reasonable code? i'll go: nested methods, especially those using context from the parent method. exceptions can be made for really small nested methods

"more like" in what way? (There are so many differences.)

Honestly the feature that gives me more headaches than anything else is people going nuts with type aliases.

Define nuts?

Oh. I love so much nested methods. I think they're essential because it gives us more expressiveness. Private method semantic: shared piece of code. Nested method semantic: improve outer method algorithm readability by giving a name to a piece of code.

It helps us separate the what (we're solving) from the how (we're solving it) without misleading the reader by giving the semantic of a private method: no this piece of code is not shared.

I love nested methods. I can abstract the algorithm in the small and more easily relocate functionality when necessary.
