I started learnimg Scala in the midst of the "2.7 vs. 2.8" turmoil and all I can say is that it wasn't just fairies and unicorns. Hopefully that's gone now and everything I use seems to work with Scala 2.8. All I can say is that I love the language and I keep using it. It's fit for super-serious development. I sometimes think the problems came from library authors that jumped to Scala 2.8 too soon. Kudos to the Lift framework guys for maintaining builds that work both with Scala 2.7 and 2.8!
