It is very very very very very very very very very definitely a technical position. It is a widely held position, though if you are relatively new to Scala, you probably don't know that. I had zero contribution to that part of our CoC.

Sure, I should have worded it differently. The limitations mentioned in the post are primarily encountered when using Scala for pure FP, and using category theory inspired techniques. This is not the only way to write Scala code.
Well I appreciate the less personal rewording. But now it is completely incorrect. It has nothing to do with "using Scala for pure FP." I look forward to your detailed response to the contrary.

There are references to monad transformers, Foldable and Traversable typeclasses, Comonads and Scalaz. All techniques / technologies used in pure FP. I don't think any of the observations are technically wrong, just that there are ways to Scala where they aren't a big problem.

None of these have anything to do with "using Scala in pure FP." People with beards also use pure FP, and yet beards have nothing to do with pure FP. You're making a category error. Scala is completely worthless and no amount of apologetics will change this.
