Scala as the long term replacement for java/javac?

Random ramblings on Open Source, integration and other malarkey Don't get me wrong - I've written tons of Java over the last decade or so & think its been a great evolutionary step from C++ and Smalltalk (lots of other languages have helped too like JavaScript, Ruby, Groovy, Python etc). However I've long wanted a long term replacement to javac. I even created a language to scratch this itch. Java

Groovyの作者が、もし2003年当時にScalaを知っていたら、Groovyを作ろうとしなかっただろうと告白

"I can honestly say if someone had shown me the Programming Scala book by by Martin Odersky, Lex Spoon & Bill Venners back in 2003 I'd probably have never created Groovy."
