Definitely not true. Scala is at its strongest ever. It&#x27;s now possible to write frontends, backends, and mobile applications in Scala. There&#x27;s an incredibly diverse and growing ecosystem of libraries. The Scala tooling has really stepped up.<p>The fact that there&#x27;s so much discussion on the new SIP (Scala improvement process) and SLIP (Scala library improvement process) issues is a testament that Scala is alive and well. This is what happens in a mature language: many people put stakes in the ground.<p>Also, Scala most certainly has a bright future to go with its vibrant present. EPFL is hard at work with dotty, which will be a simplification and improvement of Scala.
