But for a sufficiently expert programmer Java and Scala are as different as two brands of screwdriver.

Not really at all. A sufficiently expert programmer may be able to switch between Java and Scala with the same ease of switching between brands of screwdriver. But that same programmer would certainly not use Java and Scala in the same ways, as they would with two different brands of screwdriver.
