Human review and feedback
Rather than merely test for code correctness, Exercism uses peer review to improve general programming techniques. Users are encouraged to comment on others' solutions, and refine their own based on feedback.

Con
Custom commandline client
Exercism requires using a CLI utility to fetch and submit exercises. This is inconvenient compared to web-only alternatives, and poses an additional barrier to entry for some users.

Pro
Practice with production tools
Unlike many code practice websites, Exercism requires the user to develop and test entirely offline, submitting only the finished code. This promotes familiarity with essential tools and workflow, not just the bare language.

Pro
Focuses on teaching the language
Many Scala books aim to teach not just the language, but programming theory as well. "Scala for the Impatient" focuses only on teaching the syntax and features of Scala, making it a great option for experienced programmers looking to pick up the language quickly.

Author takes a Java-centric approach to many topics
If you aren't arriving at Scala with a Java background, some of the examples may seem unnecessarily focused on OOP inheritance relationships and core Java libraries.

Unreadable source code on Kindle
In order to view a properly formatted version of the code, the reader has to click a link which takes them to the index. It is then extremely difficult for the reader to find their original place in the book and continue reading.

Only uses Scala as a medium to teach functional programming
Rather than focusing on teaching the language (such as the syntax), "Functional Programming in Scala" only uses Scala as the medium for teaching functional programming. This means the reader needs to already have some experience with Scala.

Does an excellent job of teaching functional programming
