Twitter is one the few Scala shops around, would be sad to lose it.

The Scala community is so small that I know the names of almost all of the top engineers many of whom worked at Twitter.

The idea that they are just going to find dozens of them is hilariously insane.

Imagine him and Elon in a room. Their combined egos would create a singularity and we'd all die.

Shameless plug but Morgan Stanley FID tech does some pretty unique and advanced work on Scala (Optimus).
