The usual Scala-hate-brigade will jump on this "smoking gun" and will build a few new talking points on top of it how Scala will fail definitely this time for sure ... but outside their bubble nobody cares and just moves on shipping software in Scala.
I hate to call someone out like this, but to be perfectly honest I don't think your tone helps matters much.
Stop attacking the people who don't like Scala (real or imaginary). Disagree, fine, but this rampant fanboyism is odd. Yes, the language has a few critics on HN whose critiques are mostly FUD. Argue against the FUD but when you attack them you only cheapen your own position.
I'm just trying to say that there's a way to be effective about this.
(I realize I'm attacking a person about attacking a person, I get it)
Thanks. I guess I sound more serious than I actually am.
I find it kind of funny that we have like usually one username which gifts us with his presence in every Scala-related topic for usually ~6 months and then disappears.
You are absolutely right.
