This means it observes a combination of functional and object-oriented programming.<\/p>\n<p>Through this <strong>Scala infographic<\/strong>, we will provide you with all the basic information about the Scala programming language. It is a concise, high-level programming language that runs on JVM (Java Virtual Machine).<\/p>\n<p><em>Scala: Functional Programming + Object Oriented Programming<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Scala first showed up in 2004 on the Java platform. In March of 2006, version 2.0 came along. Ever wondered why we call it Scala? The name is a portmanteau of the words\u00a0<em>scalable<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0<em>language.<\/em>\u00a0This highlights its capability to grow with its users\u2019 demands.<\/p>\n<p>Since source code in Scala compiles to Java bytecode, it is language-interoperable with Java. This is because the bytecode lets executables run on the JVM (Java Virtual Machine). And like Java, Scala uses a curly-brace syntax; it also uses many of Java&#8217;s libraries.<\/p>\n<p>Developers are often amused with <a href=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/scala-features-comprehensive-guide\/\"><strong>Scala features<\/strong> <\/a>like currying, immutability, type influence, lazy evaluation, and pattern matching.<\/p>\n<h3>Scala Infographic<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/Scala-infographic-Learn-Scala-Quickly-01.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-49748 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/Scala-infographic-Learn-Scala-Quickly-01.jpg\" alt=\"Scala tutorial for beginners (infographic)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"8491\" srcset=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/Scala-infographic-Learn-Scala-Quickly-01.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/Scala-infographic-Learn-Scala-Quickly-01-21x150.jpg 21w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/Scala-infographic-Learn-Scala-Quickly-01-768x5434.jpg 768w, https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2019\/02\/Scala-infographic-Learn-Scala-Quickly-01-520x3679.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Why is Scala a Great Programming Language?<\/h3>\n<p>Scala has many benefits to it:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>More productive than any other language &#8211;<\/strong> When we compare Scala to Java and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/data-flair.training\/blogs\/python-tutorial\/\">Python programming<\/a><\/strong>, we find Scala to be more productive and faster as a language.
