Based on my research, which seeks to value objectivity overloyalty, I 
recommend the Scala programming language to anyone who already has a 
programming background and is looking to learn a solid, future-oriented 
yet practical language.  It combines much of the best features of 
previous languages, innovates further, and tries to avoid mistakes of 
the past.  It targets the advanced, cross-platform Java Virtual Machine 
(JVM), which has a vast ecosystem of 3rd party support that can be 
tapped by other languages besides Java.  Scala compiles to the same byte 
code, with a better language that learns from dynamic and functional 
languages.

I think Scala is not yet widely enough adopted and strong enough in 
third party library support to recommend if you want or need to do rapid 
application development.  If not in a pressing situation to produce 
apps, however, I suggest learning Scala,
