I wish to find the current username in scala.

On the command line I can do:

whoami

In python, I can do:

import getpass
user_name = getpass.getuser()

How do I find the username in Scala?

You can use the Java API for this:

System.getProperty("user.name")

    There is now also `scala.util.Properties.userName`, which may not have existed at the time of this answer. – ianpojman Apr 20 '22 at 15:57
