I don't think it is a Scala problem but more of a leadership/organizational problem. If you look at Jane street, they do everything in OCaml which is an interesting choice to say the least, but their stuff works, evolve and they can demonstrate...
Yeah, I don’t think Scala itself caused the problem. There was this mindset: “if we just properly model the universe in the type system, the solution will just fall out!”
Because that was the obsession, they ended up spending all their time iterating on this perfect type system and not enough on the product. I think people with that issue are more likely to want to use Scala.
