"He then gives examples of companies like Morgan Stanley in London adopting Scala heavily. This type of adoption could be a great asset for Scala's adoption or it can be a touchstone of regret that people point to when deciding to use Scala. He fears that Morgan Stanley might have a hard time finding the right Scala developers for their projects, and Scala skills are rare. If, for example, unguided recruiters recruit nascent Scala developers, Scala projects' success could become difficult."

- scrumper 12y agoGood find, thanks. You've quoted a good part, too - it's something Scala is particularly prone to given how many ways there are of using it. One thing I've seen is a cautious adoption of Akka in distributed systems in capital markets (grid services for analysis computations being one example). First-class Scala support in Akka is encouraging those banks to take a look for specific projects.
