Pros
Pro Supports both Functional and OOP paradigms
Scala supports both Functional and Object Oriented styles of programming. Beginners can learn both paradigms without having to learn a new language, and experts can switch between the two according to what best suits their needs at the time.
Pro Good support in Spark
Scala + Spark = excellent data research program as it allows the user to focus on data processing through processing mass volumes of data with a pipeline style.
Pro Compiles to JVM bytecode, making applications written in Scala cross-platform
Aside from Java itself, Scala is by far the most popular of the many JVM languages. If you're developing for Android, or a similar JVM-only platform, or otherwise need out-of-the-box cross-platform compatibility, but the performance of a compiled language, Scala is the way to go.
