It's place is when you want a functional JVM language and would prefer not to use Clojure.

As you accurately pointed out for a "better" Java you probably want Kotlin - which has better compatibility with Java, is supported by big players (JetBrains, Google) and because of being the blessed language for Android is growing in popularity very fast.

I think GP meant the place of Scala Native, where being a JVM language is irrelevant.
