CharacteristicScalaJava
SyntaxScala has a concise and expressive syntax that allows developers to write less code compared to Java.Java has a more verbose syntax compared to Scala.
ParadigmScala supports both object-oriented and functional programming paradigms.Java supports only object-oriented programming paradigm.
TypingScala has a strong static type system that allows for type inference.Java also has a strong static type system but does not support type inference.
PerformanceScala is generally faster than Java due to its support for functional programming and immutability.Java is slower than Scala due to its lack of support for functional programming and immutability.
Libraries and frameworksScala has a smaller community compared to Java, but it still has a good number of libraries and frameworks available.Java has a much larger community compared to Scala, and therefore has a vast number of libraries and frameworks available.
