I think this is the key point.

I have seen a lot of language advocacy over these past twenty years
(comp.lang.advocacy ftw!) but none has come even remotely close to the
intolerance and aggressiveness shown by Scala advocates. Yup, not even Lisp
nor Smalltalk zealots. That should tell you something :-)

To paraphrase a saying, "I like your language, I just don't like its
followers" :-)
