You realize that the sender of this post (a) has been banned from all Scala mailing lists (b) has become one of the strongest Scala haters since?

Doesn't Paul Phillips still use Scala? He's actually forked the Scala compiler: https://github.com/paulp/policy

I think Paul Phillips agree with the overall direction of Scala and thinks it's the best programming language out there, but disagrees on design details and compiler inner workings.

He's still someone one frequently encounters when looking for help or getting started with Scala. He's still pretty high-up in scalaz.
