- 23david 14y agoIf Scala can't survive without the JVM perhaps it's just not a good idea. If enough people care about Scala they'll make it work independently of the JVM. JVM-based Scala is perhaps a good way to bootstrap the language, but I don't see how it's a great long-term strategy.

- 23david 14y agoNice lol. If enough people cared about Microsoft Office, they'd make it run without windows. Tons of similar and true examples. What about: If enough people cared about java they'd make it run without the jvm.
