Scala is a multi-paradigm programming language that supports both object-oriented programming and functional programming. Some key features of Scala include: 1. Support for OOP concepts like abstraction, inheritance, polymorphism, and types. 2. Support for functional programming concepts like lambda calculus, higher-order functions, immutability, pattern matching, and tail call optimization. 3. Ability to create internal and external domain-specific languages (DSLs) to provide customized syntax and functionality for a specific problem domain.
