If you don't find JRE/JDK and long compile times to be cancerous then Scala is generally not awful.

Of all of the shit functional languages people try to force, Scala is objectively the worst.

Common Lisp and OCaml both have niches.
That's pretty much it.

Scala is amazing. It is the ultimate language.

PySpark is ok, but it won't give you the same flexibility or performance that Scala does. Hell, with the DataFrames API it's not even remotely hard.
For anyone out of the loop, Spark core and libs are written in Scala, but there are multiple language bindings such as Python.

Guile is a pretty nice embeddable language. Racket is cool.
