This doesn't concern me. If anything does, it is that Tyrpesafe, in becoming Lightbend, is not going to be as focused on the needs of the Scala community, despite reassurances to the contrary.
Are you saying two new compiler engineers were hired by Lightbend?
Because if they're working on Lagom that's a different (mostly Java) story https://github.com/lagom/lagom
Different projects require different approaches. The introduction of the community process added 5 new maintainers and the merge of Slick and FreeSlick caused a lot of activity and contributions, so I'm pretty happy.
