One of my friends was relocated recently with a very good offer and the only programming language he knows is Delphi. So I’m pretty sure programming languages never “die down”.

Yes. Scala market is smaller than some other programming languages but it is still growing.

For programmers, the important change in the market isn’t programming language adoption. It is expectation to work with multiple programming languages. Majority of good opportunities in the market are going to ask for programmers that can work with two or three programming languages.

The math doesn’t check out, rankings contradict them (check TIOBE, or google indices, or even StackOverflow rankings). It’s sad to see this kind of conclusions in HN because they are not not only incorrect but dishonest.
