I read that as Java and Scala both are second tier languages. After looking at the graph I realized he was lumping the two together. They are 11.3% and 1.7% respectively.
If Scala were a "better Java" that grouping would make sense. But some Scala projects are so different in the paradigm that the slight interoperability between the two languages is completely irrelevant.
- brabel 4y agoIF anything, he should've grouped Java with Kotlin and Groovy. Scala has always been its own thing, and was never really accepted as an integral part of the JVM ecosystem, unlike Kotlin and Groovy.
