- LiveTheDream 15y agoScala strikes a good balance between flexibility of Ruby, power of functional languages, and type safety of staticly typed languages like Java. I've seen as much scala adoption from rubyists as I have from java devs.

- kanwisher 15y agoTumblr is doing their new backend services in scala, they are starting to ramp up hiring, they want to do a lot of stuff like twitter so your seeing them do a lot of hbase also. Ideeli told me they were considering using it for backend services. Obviously I was interviewing lately so I got to hear all the recent gossip ;)
