Why is Twitter using so much Scala?
Discussion
Real-time communication: Twitter is known to be a real-time communication platform. Users can send and receive tweets instantly, allowing people to share information, news and opinions about events and happenings in real time. Global Reach: Twitter has a global user base, which means people can connect and communicate with others from all over the world. This makes Twitter a powerful platform for sharing information and ideas.
