Anyway, I've personally seen (and interviewed for) jobs that were advertising Scala (or plans to move to Scala, or that Scala experience is a plus) but actually meant there was one proof-of-concept project in Scala, 18 months ago, nobody ever touches it nowadays, the person who wrote it is long gone and by the way, our legacy JDK5 application is on fire, do you mind fixing that for the rest of your life?
- markhalonen 8y agoI suspect there's false positives from "scalability" and "scalable"...
- dotdi 8y agoI hope OP took that into account. Seems like pretty low hanging fruit when cleaning your data.
- quickthrower2 8y agoYep just split on whitespace
- imron 8y agoOr preferably, just split on word boundaries.
- mountaineer 8y agoScala's in good shape, but not quite so popular as the posted analysis presents, based on my findings of the same data: https://www.hntrends.com/2018/nov-react-still-top-containers-hot.html?compare=Scala&compare=Java&compare=Clojure&compare= https://www.hntrends.com/2018/nov-react-still-top-containers...
- Cthulhu_ 8y agoOh for sure; I'd take any job listing with something cool with a huge grain of salt; hardly any proper software development employer actually uses hip technology, but they will use hip terms to try and draw in developers. Hype-driven development is a problem, and hype-driven recruitment another one. Just be a good java developer. Maybe push for Kotlin slowly. Don't pursue Scala for the language's sake. See also: blockchain, IoT, etc. I've seen a job advert that basically bolted those onto the not well hidden "we're just looking for decent java developers" job description.
