Maybe, but I'm wondering if a lot of the recent FUD over Scala's
internals will scare off enough people who were only at the "considering
scala" stage to stick with JDK8 ( altho, I think that more gives fuel to
Ceylon or Kotlin ( or maybe even Xtend ).
Ceylon's use of its own module system may affect its adoption, unless
you're writing complete standalone apps ( afaik - I need to look more at
how the modules interact with regular java ).
Perhaps we should discuss an update to the current popularity of
languages. For what I see, Java might be on its regular decline path, but
none of the alternate languages mentioned in this thread have exited from
the marsh of exotic stuff where they were in the past. So, perhaps, the
real world problems in software development are quite far from the
language.
