Because it requires an entire JVM of baggage, is terribly complicated and doesn't really give any benefits over anything else.
Its like a Swiss army knife with a million blunt obscure tools rather than 5 useful sharp ones, or a crazy girlfriend who has three violent ex husbands who keep coming round to your house and lives with a crackhead.
Go is a trip to your Volvo dealer - uneventful but you get what you want at the end of the day and get where you want to go and when you're done, you're done.

- meaty 14y agoYes I know. We use the JVM as well and EJBs and toplink and JMS and glassfish and all sorts of hellish enterprise stuff. People smoke. It doesn't mean its good.
- mafribe 14y agoIt's false to say that Scala "doesn't really give any benefits over anything else". For a start Scala programs tend to be 1/3 of the size of comparable Java programs, with all the concomitant advantages that brings.
- meaty 14y agoThat's still twice the size of everything else.
