ok, this is a sincere question

i've read a lot of negative opinions on scala, that it's becoming too big and too complex

and honestly, i was kinda sorta, waiting for it to fail or fall out of favor

this doesnt seem to be happening, on the contrary, scala seem to be getting more popular, compared to language which i favored (like clojure or f#)

are the negative opinions wrong, overblown, or is scala really heading for failure, what am i missing, what did i see wrong
