Twitter is Using Scala, Should I Spend Time Learning It?


Last year, in my perpetual and possibly fruitless attempt to be maximally employable, I spent a few hours too many learning how to analyse quantitative data with "R." Now, I am thinking about spending more time with Python... but maybe I should just dive into... Scala? Perhaps a more important question is, do I really want to do any more coding? Update: Also, how do you pronounce "Scala?" This guy knows (try the same vowel sounds as "Java").
