I haven’t used Scala in a long time, and I’m guessing it isn’t as gross now as it was in 2014.
Your point about the vast library ecosystem might be valid. Personally, there has only been one time in several years working with Haskell I’ve wanted to use a library that I couldn’t find an analog to in Haskell. It was WeasyPrint which is a Python thing, and there was no problem to run it from my Haskell program as an external process.
Although thinking about this some more, I probably could have just used Pandoc…
