That's not true. Most things are them same or easier than on Java8.
If you don't lear Lambda's on Java8 you are missing everything. And most things in Scala's are like Lambda map/foreach all over the place. and generators making things easier to read and easier to understand. Java8 doesn't have this future you end up writing flatmap(data -> return flatmap .. return flatmap return flatmpap) that's awkward.
On scala if you don't use the hard things the language is way easier than the most languages outside of the jvm ecosystem.
