# Scala `scala`

!!! important "This section is rendered asynchronously by default"

!!! info
    [**Scala**](https://www.scala-lang.org/) is a strongly typed language supporting the functional and object oriented paradigms.

The `scala` section displays the version of the Scala compiler `scalac -version`.

This section is displayed only within Scala projects, meaning:

* Upsearch finds `.scalaenv` or `.sbtenv` files.
* Upsearch finds a `.metals` folder.
* Contains any other file with `*.sbt` or `*.scala` extension
