Scala is neat, but the time I couldn't get sbt to run because it kept running out of memory, after having had no trouble with it for months, I decided it was time to rm -rf my scala install.
I have a lot more background with Clojure (Lisps, really) anyway. I'd enjoy something with a more informative/helpful type system but Scala and Haskell are too broken, irritating, and unproductive for me.
For people like KirinDave who've crested that mountain with Haskell, more power to them.
I have to ship product ASAP and don't have time to wrangle with parser combinators just to read some XML though.
