Scary link about the Scala language interview you provided

That sure doesn't instill confidence. All this talk about using a languange "you are passionate about" blew me way.

You have a service here that is failing miserably in terms of performance, and these jokers are worried about making sure they have "fun"?

I suppose that is the difference between code that was written in C / C++, and code that is written now: in C it's all about raw performance and getting the task processed quickly whereas in more "modern" languanges we happily trade 1000 times more stack manipulation so we don't have to write 250 lines of code.

All I can say is good luck to them, because they are going to need it.
