Scala node

Hello Knime team,

Is it possible to make integration with Scala similar to what you have done in Java Snippet? Scala is quite popular JVM language especially among people who use Spark and Kafka. As long as you have PySpark nodes maybe it makes sense to first implement Scala Script for Spark node?

I also believe that Scala standard library is really helpful and convenient for data analysis with all its functional syntactic sugar features, and could be a better alternative to Python+Pandas.

Hi Artem,
I agree it would be nice if you could integrate Scala. I have created a ticket for this, as so far it does not seem to have been requested. The internal Ticket number is AP-18106: Scala Snippet Node.
Kind regards,
Alexander
