Scala is cool, thanks, and how we used it recently

I just want to share how Scala is been used at Taobao.com

We are recently launching Taobao English, to accelerate the progress, we set up a translation layer to translate Chinese → i18n as a proxy.

Where Scala is been used as :

  1. a JSONPath implementation based on the RFC
  2. pekko stream for ordering and concurrency, thanks akka team too here.


We are using fastparse to parse the rule and execute the rules which will eventually update the partial of the response JSON, then you see an English version Taobao App.

We are using Java 21 too, thank you for the excellent Java interoperation.

it works very well
