I'm sure it was at least thoroughly considered in advance. I'm sure Miles Sabin's announcement of interest in forking [1] on the 25th did not escape Typesafe's notice. I'm sure Odersky's got to be a little bit anxious about a fork, but I'd bet he's pretty relieved to hear that they want to keep it significantly interoperable, and maybe even a little bit excited to gain a sandbox for faster innovation than Typesafe can achieve.

Nice thread, thanks.

Checkout impromptu meeting of the "ScalaWags" recorded last night [1]. As usual it's a bit of a meandering, relaxed discussion, but they do manage to get on point at times re: Typelevel forking Scala and other issues pertinent to Scala's future.
