#2Scala might be cool, but before there is some big ERP or CRM written on it, it is just hipster's next toy :)

#3Stopped reading after "strong typing is better than weak typing". Well, it is not. He/she rules out perfectly valid programming languages because of this personal opinion nowhere near a fact (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/125367/dynamic-type-langu...). In fact, it directly contradicts his/her second point. I understand the author wants to drift it towards Scala, but make an effort and choose the right arguments!
EDIT: well, at least the author states it is an "100% Opinionated View". And I finally read it all, but still not very convincing.
And this comment is also an "100% Opinionated View" of course :)

#5Most of the time, we don't get to choose what programming language to use. It's dictated by professors, companies, platforms, application domains, available librairies, available expertise and so on...

#7"The neutrality of this article is discussed", as they say in Wikipedia.
This is more of a rant than a thought, and much substance is left out where it would be important to provide. It's obvious for which language the author is rooting, while largely dismissing the rest.
Not recommended.

We still choose something to learn as a part of self-improvement and self-education.
Some languages are worth knowing even if you mostly use other languages, because of the way they change your way of thinking.

I think the author assumes you're free to learn whatever language you'd like.
