Why is Java 8 interop becoming an issue? Scala 2.12 does leverage the new bytecodes and some of the new stdlib, but in general Java 8 compat from https://github.com/scala/scala-java8-compat https://github.com/scala/scala-java8-compat is usually enough from the programmer's perspective. Also, if it's lib support (as opposed to lambda support), you suffer the same things you would if you were using guava functors or something before, sometimes compat layers have to be written. If it's bytecode support, I suppose I don't understand the biggest pain points from the perspective of the programmer. It's becoming easier for me to recommend it due to the slow moving roadmap. So are you going to tell people to stay away from the JVM for its ambiguous roadmap (openjdk projects being delayed, etc)?
