F# has some nice features that scala is lacking, such as a more terse syntax for ADTs or type providers.

But other than that, Scala is miles ahead. And if you want to do pure FP, then Scala is the only option.

Also about that video, almost all of the points mentioned are either not available in other languages like F# anyways, or they already fixed in the latest Scala version.

I don't think that Scala is especially good for "pure FP".

I also do not want to do "pure FP".

I meant when compared to F#. Of course there are other languages for FP as well.

> I also do not want to do "pure FP".

That's your choice!
