Of course, I agree. In time, as the scala ecosystem flourishes and adapts, I, along with many others, may be coaxed back in. Scala suffers from a problem of too many bright people all trying to solve too few problems. And implicits. Bad idea there. But the rest of it is logistical, and just takes time, as you said. Have faith! Learn ocaml or f# too, but have faith all the same.

> Scala suffers from a problem of too many bright people all trying to solve too few problems 1000x yes. And bright people who are so bright that they simply can't appreciate what the user experience is for people who aren't bright. These people are from a lot of experience a bit toxic. And it's a bad choice of word and it isn't personal but because they are on a different level technically they can really change teams for the worse. At some point Scala is going to need to better reconcile the Typelevel world of Scala and the Play/Java world of Scala. Otherwise languages like Kotlin is going to chip away until nothing is left.
