Google is boosting the development of Wave by adding the people who developed the highly successful EtherPad and its underlying AppJet web framework using Scala. EtherPad is the only web-based word processor that allows people to work together in really real-time. You can see how Scala has contributed to the project by looking at the source code now made available as an Open Source Project. This is a company that has seen the benefits of Scala, invested in it and achieved entrepreneurial success. Success much deserved by the design and delivery of a product their customers enjoy, see their testimonials. So will Scala become part of a new Wave at Google?

Re: Google Acquires AppJet
What Google needs to do is invest in some PR for Wave because 95% of people have no idea what it's for or what to do with it. It's either way ahead of its time or simply a worthless service. It's a cool service, no doubt. It remains to be seen how useful it is in real world situations.
