It is. Odersky is spending most of his time on Dotty these days and he doesn't seem that interested in Scala any more, except when he's obligated to talk about it at keynotes (and he tends to talk more about Dotty there anyway). Despite the grandiose plans of possibly back porting Dotty features to Scala at some point in the distant future, Scala has been in maintenance mode for a couple of years now and with more and more people leaving the core team, it's probably going to stay this way.
Such a missed opportunity.
- _sunshine_ 11y agoPlease see the comment above: even though the main compiler is in maintenance and stabilization mode, innovation has happened in Scala in the form of independent projects, driven by people in Martin Odersky's lab.
- justthistime_ 11y agoThis is what we call FUD.
- vorg 11y agoThe former developers on Groovy are spending most of their time on their day jobs these days and they don't seem that interested in Groovy any more, except when they're promoting the existing version at conferences (and they tend to talk more about the fabricated number of downloads there anyway). Despite the grandiose plans of possibly improving Groovy with a proper meta-object protocol at some point in the distant future, Groovy has been in decline for a couple of years now and with less and less people using it, and those that do use it only using it for 30-liner test or build scripts, it's probably going to stay this way. Such a missed opportunity.
- phirun_nsia 11y agoI think the only reason Groovy is still around today is Gradle. Once Gradle starts declining, Groovy will probably disappear along with it.
