Have these two follow-up posts changed anyone's mind about the first?
Yammer's productivity gains from Scala were apparently not greater than the losses due to poor tooling and the impedance mismatch between Java/JVM and Scala. Therefore, the engineers all thought it was better to just go back to Java.
That seems like a useful data point, but certainly others' experiences might vary. Have these other posts added any extra information?
