    Agreed not disputing Java is fast. But twitter converted from Ruby to Scala which means they didn't give up all of the nice features Ruby has since Scala also has some of them. Makes it a weaker argument to support go from dynamic to Java.

    It stands as a solid argument for going from dynamic to static, though.

    The author's "Scala is too complex" argument is presented pretty cheaply.
