What everyone seems to miss about the Paul Philips talk is that he isn't leaving Scala. He's still active in the community contributing code.
He doesn't think the language is perfect (no one does) but he doesn't think any other existing language meets his standards either.
- copergi 13y agoI never suggested he was leaving. I wasn't even referring to a talk he gave. I said he is easily the worlds foremost expert on scalac, and he does not think it is fast, or that it is slow because it has to do a lot of work other languages don't. He thinks it is slow because it needs to be re-written to not be a mess.
