[scala] Scala as the long term replacement for java/javac?

Hello all,

Today I came across with this blog post:
http://macstrac.blogspot.com/2009/04/scala-as-long-term-replacement-for.html

Seems like James has great faith in Scala. I do, too, as Scala has got
many amazing strengths. But to replace Java?
I've come across with this Introduction to Functional Languages
lately: http://java.dzone.com/articles/introduction-functional . One
statement was that "An important observation is that functional
languages are not a replacement for procedural or object-oriented
programming language", which I totally agree with. The “polygot
programmer” seems to be the future trend for me.

So what's your view on it?

Cheers,
