Honestly, it's a pill I simply haven't swallowed. I'll admit I'm a ton less apprehensive now that they've been forced to split from Novel. The risk of them being shut down (and then what?) always bothered me..now we know, and it doesn't look so bad. If I have compelling need for a static language (performance?), I'm not sure if I'd pick C#, Java/Scala. But I maintain that all three are less productive than Ruby/Python, so unless you are building Cassandra/Lucene/Redis/Nginx/... I won't be too compelled about performance arguments.
