Abstract:	The article presents information on Scala computer program language and what makes it appealing for developers. The first version of the language was launched in 2003 and gained popularity following adoption by Twitter Inc. It is a pragmatic language and focuses on making developers more productive and offers toolbox for expressing concurrency as well as parallelism. The focus on the language on objects as well as modularity makes it a library-centric language and makes it easier for computer programmers for defining high-level and efficient libraries.
