What Hacker News says?
Definitely not the lack of experience, there was plenty of in-house Scala experience. I'm not the author, but he has indeed written about his experiences with Scala on his personal blog: http://evrl.com/programming/scala/2017/04/04/scala-part-ii.h...

HN discussionGreat critique! Reminds me a bit of Back to the '70s with Serverless (2020) http://evrl.com/devops/cloud/2020/12/18/serverless.html (2020) which I linked from Summer Blog Backlog: Distributed Systems https://www.oilshell.org/blog/2021/07/blog-backlog-2.html (Kubernetes is our generation's Multics)
