I don't know what your beef with Scala is, but you're seriously deluded.

Your problem is that you think that Scala can overcome its perception problem. No, it can't. Scala is history and will never be anything. Look to Kotlin.

Erm, you're an idiot.

You're talking about perception problems like everyone knows there is one.

You do realize Scala is being used everywhere right? Twitter, Linked In, Meetup, foursquare, etc, etc. The list is endless.

TL:DR; your vaporware language isn't anything new or exciting. Let me know when it actually exists.

Scala, Clojure and all other functional languages are --and will continue to be for the foreseeable future--, non mainstream.

Only languages with conventional C or Smalltalk based syntax and some functional "injections" have ever become popular.
