Yeah Joe is exactly right. Let's not confuse scala apis with the existing Scala clients There are a ton of downsides to those clients. They aren't going away any time in the forceable future, so don't stress, but I think we can kind of deprecate them and try to shame people into upgrading. For

Hi, I don't have a good excuse here. :( I thought about including Scala, but for some reason didn't do it. I see 12-13% of people chose Other. Do you think that is because I didn't include Scala? Also, is the Scala API reeally going away? Otis -- Monitoring * Alerting * Anomaly Detection

I kind of look at the Storm, Spark, Samza, etc integrations as producers/consumers too. Not sure if that maybe was getting lumped also into other. I think Jason's 90/10 80/20 70/30 would be found to be typical. As far as the Scala API goes, I think we should have a wrapper around the shiny new
