Failing in humanity or possibly just geeks

This is not a critique of the language, it is a bigoted attack. Scala may not be as functional as Ocaml, this does not mean it is not functional at all. Just as German is a more precise language than English, doesn't make English complete incomprehensible language. Wielded by some, such as myself, it may appear to be incomprehensible but that should be taken as a slur against the user not the language.

This kind of thing makes me sad, whether it is something as banal as an attack on a Programming Language or the more discriminatory attacks on people because of their race, colour, origin or social standing.
