Scala Lang VS Liberty BASIC

I have a new windows 10 and downloaded the Coursier installer from scala-lang.org, the https://docs.scala-lang.org/getting-started/index.html says that you should have either java8 or java11 installed but most tutorials online and posts says to install latest version of java, which java jdk version should I install or does Coursier install it for me or do I choose the latest jdk (java-jdk-19)?

Try manually installing sbt without coursier. The instructions are on https://scala-lang.org. Source: over 1 year ago

I had met the core developers, we had discussing a lot about which technology would better address our demand and, after many considerations, we had chosen Scala. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago

I like scala. It combines object-oriented and functional programming into one high-level language, which makes it fun to learn. I don't know if it is popular in the robotics industry, but it runs on the jvm and can be combined with java, so there is that. I recommend the book "programming scala". Source: over 2 years ago

Scala with the Typelevel ecosystem. Stay on the jVM, but have a much more pleasant and robust experience, including a great REPL. Source: almost 3 years ago

My first programming language was Liberty BASIC, which is designed for beginners and comes with great tutorial. I highly recommend that as a starting point. Source: about 2 years ago
