[Tristan Tarrant (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ISPN-6893?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13271233#comment-13271233 ] 

Tristan Tarrant commented on ISPN-6893:
---------------------------------------

[~ijuma] indeed, but we need something that works now. Reasons for dropping Scala (in no particular order of importance / impact):
* no usable build for Java 9 available yet
* getting rid of the horrible hybrid code we have
* more predictable performance of the constructs we use
* lower the barrier to contribution both by internal and external developers
* reduce the distribution size by 7MB
* speed-up the build

> Scala doesn't support Java 9.  We need to remove it to make sure we have compatibility.
