That doesn’t follow. Scala is a high level language and compiler above the JVM. The bug here is a high level one:

I’m comparing with Haskell, Scheme, or even SQl which all promise to compile efficient code from high level descriptions.
The bug in TFA is hardly a reason that Scala is not a success, though.
