In one future universe, Scala pursues stability, and is very
successful, loved by pragmatists the world over as a "better Java".
In the other universe, there's some complaining as Scala keeps
evolving, but it finally learns to control its own side-effects, goes
on to integrate non-local type-inference with subtype polymorphism,
somebody writes a compiler plugin for default lazy evaluation, and is
finally recognized as a "better Haskell".
What do you aspire to?

For me, "better Java". So "functional purity" isn't that important (or, to be honest, needed).
