On: Scala At Yammer (Official position on Scala)

[verroq]

Your posts reeks of fanboyism, instead of addressing their points, you ignore them by claiming the posts are garbage.

If you've been paying attention, I addressed most of Stephen's points in the comments sections of his first two blog posts, and Alex's "news stories" are just a rehash of those posts. I've also made comments in one of the other Hacker news threads about the Yammer email. Finally, I know Scala has flaws and admitted to them in other places. I may be a fanboy, but I consider myself one that listens to reason, at least.

My last comment, however, has nothing to do with technology and everything to do with the human side of things. Stephen and Alex are playing dirty, and I'm calling them out for it.

I don't blog actively right now, although I'm tempted to start after all this. All my input can be found in the comments sections of Stephen's two EJB2 posts and in other hacker news threads.

I misread, I didn't know you posted in the comments section. I assumed you posted on a blog.

My opinion of Scala is fairly neutral, and I was still annoyed by the smug told-ya-so attitude of Colebourne's posts.
