The conclusion here runs contrary to a lot of things claimed in the article (most of which are subjective to start with).

All languages are in fact becoming Scala.. in fact kotlin is practically mostly Scala.. yet the author places kotlin in a different category. "The death of hype" article from the same author I read sometime ago also makes zero mention of kotlin which is what's getting all the otherwise-scala-devs. I have no idea why.

Why should someone in 2021 use Scala if all the languages are becoming Scala anyway? Shouldn't they choose a language with better tooling and a better ecosystem?
