- Apache Spark picked Scala in 2014 as a language with lambdas and pattern matching on the JVM.
- Akka picked Scala because it was a concise, performant language with support for lightweight concurrency with Futures or Actors.
- Scalaz and Cats picked Scala as a concise language with a rich type system.
This chronological list perfectly captures how its mental share has shrunk over time...
