You should be learning how to answer these questions yourself. Part of growing up as a programmer is being able to answer. What language should I learn, what framework/library should I learn, what project should I work on. Everyone is different, with different background and goals. You must learn to figure out where you are and where you're going and then answer the question for yourself. There has never been a better time to learn Scala for at least one programmer out there and at the same time, it could be the worst mistake another could make right now.
In my opinion, your criticism is unwarranted here. Asking about the job market for a language on HN is completely valid and doesn’t signal an inability for OP to answer the question on their own.
