I was being snarky in my another comment and was downvoted as hell. Oh well, I am OK with that. However, I can't help thinking of the failure of Scala at Yammer, which caused a big buzz two years ago [1] and [2]. From the blog posts I've read about Scala and Yammer, they planed the transition to Scala carefully and with passion, and they switched away from Scala in merely one year.
Has the situation changed totally? I don't know. Maybe Scala has improved significantly since then and all the pain points back then have been addressed nowadays. I'd like to be enlightened on these factors.
