Fugo helps businesses communicate meaningful content to their customers and employees using their TV screens.
Screens are becoming a staple in businesses environments of virtually every kind - retail chains, restaurants, hospitality, schools, warehouses, corporate offices, etc... But the options for getting content onto screen are usually a cheap but ineffective USB stick plugged into a TV running a loop of JPEGs OR an expensive enterprise software solution that can cost the…

It is best when we have to work with multiple screens. It will provide the best features to display that entire content in a single place that will quickly access and roll up that content, making our work easier and more productive. I really loved using this tool and make some productive work.
If you are in the data science world, Scala is the best language to work with Spark, the defacto data science data store. I think that is really the main likely reason I would ever recommend Scala. Another reason is if you already have a team of programmers familiar with functional programming, e.g. they all have years of Haskell experience. In that case, I definitely think Scala is a superior and faster-growing language than Haskell and that picking up Scala after Haskell should be quick.
Compatibility with Java: if you are switching off of Java onto a new language, one reason to pick Scala is that it is about 99% compatible with Java, so any Java libraries or code you were using before can be called from Scala (not vice-versa though).
Great built-in features for managing concurrency (e.g. Futures, Actors, and Akka). Making the most of every single thread on the machines your Scala code is running on is much easier and safer than doing it with Java. Scala abstracts away thread pools and threads quite well with Futures. I wouldn't say Futures are easy to learn though....but they are definitely safer to use than pure threads.
Null-pointer safety: In Scala, null pointers are rare because most libraries pass around a class called Option when whatever you are referencing could possibly be null. Options are first-class and the functional nature of Scala combined with Options means you can almost always avoid referencing a null directly using Option.map or Option.flatMap (see here for what they do https://www.scala-lang.org/api/current/scala/Option.html). That means you'll almost never encounter another null-pointer exception unless you do something quite stupid and avoidable. Java has Options for helping with this now, but it's not widely used and not nearly as powerful.
The Scala community is still pretty active and friendly. Martin Odersky, the creator Scala, and his team are sill quite passionate and gone above-and-beyond to fix bugs and address the need for more features. They also have a company called Lightbend that will help you integrate Scala into your engineering stack. I have heard mixed things about them but never worked with them myself so take what I say with a grain of salt.
Any company, regardless of size, will find this app useful for signage. The app offers a lot of management and device monitoring features, and the customer service is outstanding. The map function is perfect for companies with multiple locations and app integrations are easy to use. A simple interface, the ability to deliver ads in a unique way, and the ability to work with preexisting hardware are some of the reasons why I like it.
