The sentiment just stinks. It is the old C++ programmers are more clever because C++ is more complicated non argument. Most firms have teams with mixed developer skill sets. Having this kind advertisement is not going to anything in Scala's favor. If he really wants Scala to be a success he certainly has a real odd way of showing it, or perhaps hes worried from current uptake that the real likelyhood is it will never be the success that Java is
