To continue to attract users, Scala must continue to innovate in both directions:

1. **Increasing safety** without compromising convenience: features like [capture checking](https://docs.scala-lang.org/scala3/reference/experimental/cc.html), [explicit nulls](https://docs.scala-lang.org/scala3/reference/experimental/explicit-nulls.html), [safe initialization](https://docs.scala-lang.org/scala3/reference/other-new-features/safe-initialization.html), [multiversal equality](https://docs.scala-lang.org/scala3/book/ca-multiversal-equality.html).
2. **Increasing convenience** without compromising safety: features like [enums](https://docs.scala-lang.org/scala3/reference/enums/enums.html), [optional braces](https://docs.scala-lang.org/scala3/reference/other-new-features/indentation.html), [named tuples](https://dotty.epfl.ch/docs/reference/experimental/named-tuples.html).

The Scala ecosystem is broad and diverse, but we think these twin goals are the common thread.
