Definitely not true. Scala is at its strongest ever. It's now possible to write frontends, backends, and mobile applications in Scala. There's an incredibly diverse and growing ecosystem of libraries. The Scala tooling has really stepped up. The fact that there's so much discussion on the new SIP (Scala improvement process) and SLIP (Scala library improvement process) issues is a testament that Scala is alive and well. This is what happens in a mature language: many people put stakes in the ground. Also, Scala most certainly has a bright future to go with its vibrant present. EPFL is hard at work with dotty, which will be a simplification and improvement of Scala.
