Article writer here - thanks for the comments. I think the key for VR is that it will be awesome for specific domains (e.g. game development) but won't show much benefit to general programming.

Once VR has become more commonplace then I see it integrating more and more into programming as it becomes useful in other scenarios.

I don't really want to be a prof, I'd rather be in industry. I like making things too much :)

I see value in doing the PhD though, so it might very well come down to one off the other.

The timing of the startup is going too be really important, so that will likely drive things. Thanks!

Which do I want more? That is a good question, will have to ponder that. I see value in both at this point. I see what you're saying about stress though, startups and a PhD are both very stressful, which is why I'm trying to use this time to research stuff for my future startup. Thanks for the advice!

Java in Play is definitely a second class citizen compared to Scala

Much agreed. I started a side project with a quick deadline with Java in Play and switched to Scala (even though I had to learn Scala) just because they played better together.
