Just want to give Martin Odersky a shout out - what a legend this guy.

62 years old, going strong.

I'm not even in the java ecosystem but Scala strikes me as the most likely language to do something fresh and interesting on top of an existing ecosystem in the next few years, which is terrific news.

There are many reasons why I respect him, but the fact that he laid out a time plan for Scala 3 already 2 years ago and then kept the timeline is mind-boggling.
