the OO/FP fusion hypothesis resulted in a complicated language on the OO side (too complicated for enterprise application layer) and on the FP side an autistic culture war at the seam between FP frameworks.

And now the Scala leadership and the industry frameworks are pulling in different directions, Scala is academically funded.
