In my mind, Akka is the reason to use Scala right now.

Why? Akka works fine with Java, Kotlin, and most other JVM languages.



I've used Akka with Java. It certainly works but it's a bit of a pain just because Java is so verbose. Some features like the FSM helper aren't available in Java either.


It's nowhere as elegant when used in Java though.
