Why are parallel collections an "albatross"? I can understand it if he plans to replace the functionality you get by writing "list.par.map(func).seq" with "list.parmap(func)" or something, though. Parallel list functions are one of my favorite features in Scala, and I think it would be a serious loss if they disappeared.
Also, I wonder what the two Scala forkers are thinking about Dotty (the next-gen Typesafe scala compiler) and how they imagine merging their ideas in.
