What it is AI-extracted, prompt v1, taxonomy v1, 2026-08-29, confidence not recorded

The Scala 2 programming language compiler and standard library, hosted by the Scala organization. Scala 2 is in maintenance mode, with active development focused on Scala 3 in the scala/scala3 repository.

Use cases

compile scala 2 code
functional programming on the jvm
build scala standard library from source
contribute to scala 2 compiler
maintain legacy scala 2 projects
learn scala programming language

When to choose

you maintain or build Scala 2 codebases that cannot yet migrate
you need to fix or extend the Scala 2 compiler or standard library
you target the JVM with a hybrid functional/object-oriented language

When to avoid

you are starting a new project - use Scala 3 (scala/scala3) instead
you need a non-JVM native language
you want a language with active new feature development
