Yeah, Scala's a bit of a mess right now, definitely not thrilled that the flagship web framework (Play) won't be supporting Scala 2.12 until the 2.6 release (i.e. 4-6 months from now), which is absurd given that pretty much the entire ecosystem has a 2.12 release at this point :\

As for typed alternatives, there's no substitute for Scala. Maybe Haskell or OCaml if you leave the JVM, but otherwise it's pretty much a language wasteland for anyone that's taken a dip in the ocean of Scala.

heh, think it goes both ways ;-) As an observer none of the powers that be took a liking to you calling them out, justified or not (agree that community contrib takes a back seat to Lightbend/EPFL).

Good luck wherever you've wound up (and thanks for the biased Either contrib in 2.12, finally!)
