Scala has been the preferred language for Spark. Spark was built using Scala. If we use Scala for Spark , it is easier to do functional programming using Functions, the code is concise and it is faster. Thr RDDs are slower with non JVM languages. Now we have other options apart from RDDs which are Dataframes and Datasets. So if we are using Dataframes/Datasets, is scala still the preferred language? Thanks.
