Hello,
I read the post from James yesterday and in principle I share his statements. Scala has everything to replace Java in almost any area where Java is well suited, what doesn't mean, there is not place for other languages. But I think no one can say how it'll really be in the future, if the community will really switch to Scala. But despite how the future trends will look like, I'll use Scala instead of Java as much as I can.
Cheers,

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,
