The worst stuff I've ever heard about Scala, apart from 
compile-speed anecdotes, is "Scala Collections: Why Not?" 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiJycy6dFSQ . It's really hard to 
imagine a macro problem more off-putting than this video.

```scala
scala> List(1, 2, 3).toSet()
res0: Boolean = false

scala> List(1, 2, 3) contains "your mom"
res2: Boolean = false
```
