Scala is a modern multi-paradigm programming language designed to express common programming patterns in a concise, elegant, and type-safe way. It smoothly integrates features of object-oriented and functional languages.

## Scala is object-oriented ##
Scala is a pure object-oriented language in the sense that [every value is an object](unified_types.html). Types and behavior of objects are described by [classes](classes.html) and [traits](traits.html). Classes are extended by subclassing and a flexible [mixin-based composition](mixin-class-composition.html) mechanism as a clean replacement for multiple inheritance.

## Scala is functional ##
Scala is also a functional language in the sense that [every function is a value](unified_types.html). Scala provides a [lightweight syntax](anonymous-function-syntax.html) for defining anonymous functions, it supports [higher-order functions](higher-order-functions.html), it allows functions to be [nested](nested-functions.html), and supports [currying](currying.html). Scala's [case classes](case-classes.html) and its built-in support for [pattern matching](pattern-matching.html) model algebraic types used in many functional programming languages.

Furthermore, Scala's notion of pattern matching naturally extends to the [processing of XML data](xml-processing.html) with the help of [right-ignoring sequence patterns](regular-expression-patterns.html). In this context, [sequence comprehensions](sequence-comprehensions.html) are useful for formulating queries. These features make Scala ideal for developing applications like web services.
