Many of us stopped using Scala because it is a pile of worthless shit. Let the goobers keep it. I'll watch :)

What do you think of the advise to use Haskell instead of Scala for people like you who strongly oppose Scala?

Haskell is a vastly superior language to Scala. This has always been known. Hence, we continue to use it in production, before and after Scala. What many of us more recently discovered is that every language is superior to Scala.

Even PHP?

Yes, even PHP.

Let's suppose the Cats/Typelevel shit never had happened. Would you think the same? I think not. I get that you're angry and that some of those guys were assholes, I think there is hope for Scala, and not just as a gateway drug to Haskell

Why do you think there are almost zero skilled programmers and skilled teachers using Scala? Where did they all go? Are they all angry too?

It's not like there are many skilled programmers at all, functional programming talk is pretty recent, 10 years ago the cloud did not exist and lambdas were "PhD stuff"
