The only issue I have with Scala 3 is Python envy, they should not have come up with a second syntax, and pushing it as the future.

If anything is slowly down Scala 3 is that, including the tooling ecosystem that needs to be updated to deal with it.

You could also have compared it, more attractively, to Haskell.

Except the reason behind the syntax change is the losing mindshare from Scala into Python, after its relevance in the big data wave that predated the current AI wave.

Nothing to do with Haskell, even if it is also white space significant.
