Anyway, I've personally seen (and interviewed for) jobs that were advertising Scala (or plans to move to Scala, or that Scala experience is a plus) but actually meant there was one proof-of-concept project in Scala, 18 months ago, nobody ever touches it nowadays, the person who wrote it is long gone and by the way, our legacy JDK5 application is on fire, do you mind fixing that for the rest of your life?
