Scala vs Java

Scala and Java both run on the JVM, but Scala provides more modern language features that reduce boilerplate and enhance productivity.

Example: Hello World

// Java
public class HelloWorld {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println("Hello, World!");
    }
}

// Scala
object HelloWorld {
  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    println("Hello, World!")
  }
}

Scala's syntax is more concise and supports powerful constructs like pattern matching, case classes, and first-class functions.
