Are there going to be Scala jobs?

[moved to debate]
Define "significant".  I don't think Scala will compete with Java in terms of shear numbers anytime soon, but that doesn't mean there aren't or won't be any opportunities available.

My employer, Twitter, is interested in hiring talented programmers who
are versed in Scala. Not to boast, but we're one of the
best-publicized startups out there. I hope that we're not in alone in
making some Scala-related hires in 2009. http://twitter.com/jobs
