The developers.hp.com website says that there are seven reasons that Scala is “better” than Java, but “complexity” and the lack of Scala developers is holding Scala adoption down.
(I put the word “better” in quotes because I think that’s generally a subjective statement. I prefer Scala over Java, but that doesn’t mean it’s for everyone. And in the old days (1990s) I thought Perl was “better” than Java in some ways.)
