Thanks for your response. I appreciate all the work going into the Scala ecosystem. > Why do you say you don't know where Scala is going? Apologies for that wording. A more elaborate wording would be: I don't know where Scala as a whole (the community + language) will be heading and that is in huge part because of I not having the resources to follow the developments. I sometimes lurk in the internal discussions list and catch up with conversations, some of which tend to be controversial, but I am glad they happen in the open. (Top of mind: CPS plugin related discussions) I still use Scala whenever I can, but when it comes to performance (cpu limited), I fall back to Java. (I am aware of the compiler plugins of yore and the macros of now that help speed things, and the tree shakers, but they are third-party / require different workflows, and hence I don't feel inclined to use them for certain projects). It is mostly in this space that I am exploring alternatives. Kotlin and Ceylon seem to be more streamlined (conceptually, and hopefully at run-time), but as I haven't actually used them, I am not sure what deficiencies to expect. Edit: Removed a sidenote. Would have been a distraction.
