To be fair, most of the "not smart enough for Scala" comments come from people who don't like Scala and complains that the "average Java programmer" (whatever that means) won't get it ( which I find very insulting )

Exactly. Those “type systems experts” and “academics” who usually get bashed for mocking “Java Joe”s are normally those who say “have a look at it, it isn't hard”.
