Scala is a statically typed, general-purpose programming language that supports both object-oriented and functional programming. Scala code can be compiled to Java bytecode, JavaScript, or native executables. It offers a concise syntax similar to C and also supports the off-side rule for block structuring. The off-side rule has been highlighted as a productive change introduced in Scala 3 by its creator, Martin Odersky.
