> they formed a commercial organisation called "TypeSafe" around it. Then it took on VC money and then also renamed itself to "Lightbend" My alarm bells were ringing as far back as that name change. Everyone I knew who used Scala thought the name change was silly and foreboding of bad things. "TypeSafe" has a nice, technical ring to it, and it embodied what we thought Scala was all about. Now, "Lightbend". Talk about a fluffy, meaningless, VC-friendly name. It sounded ominously wrong back then. I guess we skeptics were proven right after all these years...
