You also get a step-wise path to rewrite the applications. Going to Scala would probably be a complete re-write which is risky and time consuming. I don't think Scala usage will grow much more now that Java 8 is released. The benefits of rewriting a Java application to Scala is probably not that great in comparison to the cost. And the C# to Scala re-write is probably even worse from a cost/risk perspective.

Well, obviously other people did the math and went ahead with it. > I don't think Scala usage will grow much more now that Java 8 is released. I don't get that reasoning. As the GP mentioned, even C# projects migrate, so why would Java's more concise anonymous inner classes be a show-stopper?

>I don't think Scala usage will grow much more now that Java 8 is released Do you think the main reason people use Scala is because of lambdas and type inference?
