For me: + very nice language: it's really a pleasure to code with scala + very nice community: high quality discussions, very helpful, very smart people, very clever answers without being condescending, very responsive + good documentation (Programming with Scala) + a very good web framework (lift) + interesting testing libs: specs, ScaleCheck...
- tools, tools, tools: eclipse plugin works when it wants which is not often - integration with java infrastructure could be better : lots of trials and errors to try integrate maven + eclipse + scala for example (and still not working very well) - free documentation should be also in html - is the scala community shrinking? it seems that the traffic in the scala has decreased since about on year ago (on the other hand lift traffic seems to have increased) - not much evolution on the content of the scala site (besides the look and feel) - compiling is too slow In my opinion the +s are far more important than the -s, but the -s could by a real barrier to a wider popularity.
