No. From people who know Scala well. This division into "people who think pure FP is the one true way" is a part of the narrative that you have fallen into adopting. It doesn't exist. It's entirely a fabrication. You believe it's not widely held due to an understandable bias.

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.

They all have something to do with pure FP, and the post refers to the limitations when employing these techniques in Scala. I'm aware thats your opinion, and I know I wont convince you otherwise. Scala it a useful language, and no amount of descent will change that.

No, they do not. I think you might misunderstand what FP is. You can convince me otherwise. Just demonstrate what redeeming features Scala has. I suspect many people, those who know Scala well, would like to know this. I don't know why we are descending. Is there CTA coming up?
