Given that I hit serious, show-stopping Scala compiler bugs at least once every few weeks -- bugs that always have already been filed and simply haven't been fixed -- and that Scala binary compatibility across major releases is still a pipe dream, and that massive language warts don't seem to be going anywhere ...
... I'm not really seeing how that roadmap and reality come together. I've got a smidgeon of hope for the two Scala forks, but I know that's a long shot.

- adriaanm 12y agoSorry to hear that. It's a lot of work and the Scala team at Typesafe is pretty small. We welcome all the help we can get, but we're focussed on solving exactly these issues. If you'd like to get certain bugs prioritized -- we offer dev support.
