Indeed. I wonder if the result is a bit misleading, because many Java developers may not really have considered other languages, and Scala is the most well-publicised. So the question may just translate to "name another JVM language." Kinda reflects with Groovy too, which has been around quite a while now and does well in this question, despite not being very "popular" in the various language league tables.
- thescrewdriver 12y agoThe results for that question are very interesting too (although perhaps not that surprising). There was virtually no interesting in Xtend.
- lukaseder 12y agoCan Xtend even be compiled to Java outside of Eclipse? I haven't been following recent improvements, but when I last checked, that wasn't possible. So it was essentially an in-IDE-only language, nice for little scripts, but completely useless for larger applications (or teams)
