Lots of jobs for Scala? I'm not sure about that. Scala is a bit like Rails, at least here in the UK, where about 80% of the available jobs are in London. Step outside the capital and it's almost non-existent. Search Indeed.co.uk by job title and you'll find Java:Scala is 5:1 in London and 24:1 in the rest of the UK. Java:Scala job ratios in other countries are even worse: USA 29:1, Netherlands 19:1, Canada 33:1, Germany 46:1, France: 93:1, India 113:1, China 1639:1, So I think it's fair to say that, with the exception of the London financial sector, Scala hasn't really made a difference to the dominance of Java in industry.
