Eventually we&#x27;re all dead. I don&#x27;t think Scala will be the best language to use in 10 or 20 years&#x27; time. I do think it&#x27;s the best language to use today (and I won&#x27;t be leaving it until I see an alternative with higher-kinded types, dependent types, strict evaluation, and project&#x2F;dependency management as good as maven).
