I do know Scala, but my co-workers do not.
When you work in large organizations, you are constrained to
what everyone knows.
Or are willing to be trained in. The problem is not the status

the organization, the problem is the intransigent inability to
learn
that far too many programmers seem to display. People should be
wanting
to use new technologies if available and appropriate. Of course
the
current language is a candidate and may be the right choice, it
just
shouldn't be assumed it is the only choice.
It does not work on my field, because my employer does consulting
for Fortune 500 companies usually multi-site with off-shoring
component, where the technology stack is given by the customers
themselves.
So unless Scala,D, Go, ... are requested, they won't be used.
