Out of interest - are you talking about the use of symbolic operators? Or something else (like the prevalence of the Typeclass pattern)?

Probably that Scala is extremely verbose and boiler platey compared to Haskell as soon as you start playing with higher kinds.

And when you use just regular Scala syntax, it's just pretty ugly code overall IMO (and one of the slowest compilers of the 21st century too).
