If you had a look at what the Scala ecosystem is both shipping and working on, the gap between Java and Scala is increasingly widening, not closing.

Right, and there are some really big things in Scala which already got quite a lot attention from enterprises: Play Framework, Apache Spark, Akka. Funny, I know some people using those things from... Java even though it is very cumbersome to do so.

Yes, isn't that great? They lower the cost of switching, by not forcing people to migrate both language _and_ framework at the same time.

Though I had stuff like parboiled2, Slick, scala.meta, dotty, shapeless in mind (which don't support Java at all), these are good examples, too.
