The question was based on languages which you currently use and whether you would like to continue using them, little to do with "Most Hyped" or "Internet opinions"

0.3 / 0.08 = 3.75 That's less that 4x as many Ruby jobs as Scala ones.

That doesn't seem to cover the "develop" and "evaluate" parts.

For comparison Ruby is just over 0.3% and has been flat for four years. It's the overall job market, not just programming jobs so all percentages will be low.

As someone who's seeing plenty of Scala uptake around me that's a rather surprising claim with no supporting evidence. These days I'm writing 90+% of my code at work in Scala. Indeed.com job data suggests that the answer to y

It's a lot like learning SVN vs Git, SVN requires fewer steps to do a commit so you can be "productive" faster. Once you learn Git though you won't care that it took you a bit longer to learn. Prioritizing being producti

If Indeed.com job search results are anything to go by there's also EBay, Verizon, Morgan Stanley, Northrup Grumman, Slack, Nike, JPMorgan. Searching around the web I see other users including Netflix, Tumblr, Xerox, Sony, Siemens, UBS

Well written Scala code is fantastic to work with, but it does take some practice and judgement to write well structured readable code. If you're having trouble reading your own code days later perhaps consider the way you're usin

People need to apply common sense when writing code to ensure readability. Banning type inference isn't going to stop incompetent coders from writing bad/unreadable code. I'm talking as someone who uses both Java and now (mos

Perhaps we should add [adwall] to links similar to the way we include [paywall]?

Nothing an in-place edit of the page source can't remove or a fake user-agent string can't work around.

A site which eventually has no visitors will become irrelevant. Those with ad blockers will also often share links to said site which others without ad blockers will click on. If you block me on your website there are many others who will n

Fortunately progress doesn't rely on the approval of the nay-saying minority. It's type inference for local variables. Do you really think that val str = "foo" is less readable than String str = "foo"?

In all fairness there are many languages (generally statically typed) which perform better than Javascript. That go is on the list shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.

They have a larger share of email accounts in the US than Google for starters... Out of curiosity which companies are doing a better job than Flickr? I happen to have a Yahoo email account.

I think it's more that Joffrey etc. inherits certain traits from his parents rather that is his parents.

I wonder if this is going to have implications for Swiftkey's privacy policy and data mining etc. if Windows 10 is anything to go by...

50 years ago is probably an exaggeration, but the Su-27 and its later derivatives Su-35 etc. and the MiG-29 from the 70's are highly maneuverable.

A plugin is a good thing as far as I'm concerned. One IDE, many languages :)
