I really like Scala, but that 10x claim is just straight bullshit. You hardly have 10x difference between goddamn C and some high-level language!

Okay, maybe 7x, that's subjective, imprecise and strongly dependent on how experienced you are in Java. For a skillful Java developer that may be as low as 3x.
