What on earth are you talking about? We discuss the quality of the language, you say the quality is irrelevant, it's how it is in use. We point out that those two things are linked, you say Scala doesn't sell. Where will we go next on this tour of absurdities? Scala is slow? Underscores are bad for the heart?
Scala is free, it doesn't need to sell in financial terms to survive. However, it is approaching the top 10 languages pretty well, and 40,000 people who started the Coursera course led by Martin Odersky clearly think it might have something going for it. People backing Typesafe also clearly think the same and are putting their money into it.
