"Ultimately, more Scala used means more modern Android development. "

The author has a clear chip on his/her shoulder and is making statements that are pretty controversial, even within the Scala community itself.

If language advocates spent less time advocating and more time actually producing the cool stuff they claim that their language enables, they might actually get heard.
