A comment on Scala Center. Parent comment
- The existence of a reasonably well-funded organisation (Typesafe/Lightbend) stewarding Scala was well-received.
- Typesafe/Lightbend's independence also helped, in the sense that I cannot see a Scala-like language succeeded if it had come from e.g. Oracle.
- Scala's open-sourcing of everything helped.
- The well-executed and well-timed Scala-MOOC also helped a great deal.
- Odersky's fame and track-record helped too.
None of those might have driven your Scala adoption (or mine), but they might have helped others to shift their dev towards Scala.
