  1. lol. It was quite a rude and personal comment from you. I didn’t ask for a psychological profile of me or any of my colleagues.

  2. You got it wrong. I understand that a good bunch of people are using it for research / books / education / personal projects, but that’s not the case for everyone. Commercial companies are to make money and solve real problems. Some are PCI/OWASP certified and require a code review of every and single change in code, including ones done by a formatting tool! If a language doesn’t guarantee compatibility/stability and requires constant efforts for migrations then it’s probably time to look for alternatives. I expected SIP and Scala Center to be some sort of such guarantee, but I was wrong. Typescript is a nice example of how well one can both improve a language and stay true to the original idea without breaking stuff just because it looks better in a printed material.
