It says a lot about the scale of adoption the big language players have that despite the aforementioned inroads into the enterprise that Scala has made, it is still very much a niche language; Haskell at this point in time, even more so.

Am curious to see how Scala 3/Dotty backed Scala works out. Enabling better tooling and faster build times via a generally less kitchen sink-y/more regular language should bring Scala adoption to new levels. Dotty is under active development, even saw a Github issue talking about the migration tool[1]. It's going to happen, just a matter of when.
