Would you suggest we also honor Groovy inventor James Strachan, who
wrote in 2009 in his Blog "I can honestly say if someone had shown me
the Programming in Scala book by by Martin Odersky, Lex Spoon & Bill
Venners back in 2003 I'd probably have never created Groovy.":

I counter with https://twitter.com/jstrachan/status/784333918078169088:
I still love groovy (jenkins pipelines are so groovy!), java, go, typescript
and kotlin. I don’t use scala any more
I think that proofs, that this discussion with Scala is just not worth
it really.
