Please, let's be rational about this. A new language takes time to gain widespread use. Or are you telling me that Go, Scala, <put your favorite new hotness> all account for nothing? We the developer community are in a transition phase. The advancements will become mainstream but it will take time.
Scala is picking up pace like anything. This has been visible to anyone following the Scala ecosystem. Not in just programmer circles, the bombardment of jobs for Scala developers in the enterprise suggests they are interested too.
- zak_mc_kracken 12y agoSure, languages take a very long time to gain adoption. Scala has been around for ten years and is still showing very little adoption while Clojure and more recently Ceylon are already receiving a lot of attention. I used to have very high hopes for Scala to become the next Java but at this point, I've moved on and hoping that another language will get that spot.
