@raj_chandra3 @TwitterEng @java @OpenJDK To be clear, our bet is on the JVM, not exactly on the Java language. That said, the Java language is evolving rapidly.

@raj_chandra3 @TwitterEng @java @OpenJDK Our services are written predominantly in Scala, but we have a lot of infrastructure that is still written in Java.
