So what I do not understand, if the goal is to stay with java and leverage their background, but wanting something less laborious to code. Then why not try Groovy? Seems to me anyone now wants to do Scala just to put it on their resumes.

Less laborious but us java devs are not really a scripting language audience.

"Then why not try Groovy?"

Or Xtend, or Kotlin or Ceylon (though the second two haven't yet been widely released).
