That's ok until it goes wrong at which point you need to know the JVM inside out and Maven.

I do know a lot about them but don't desire retaining that information :)

Shrug; I've found I spend less time debugging non-scala code when working in scala than I spend debugging non-python code when working in python. (When many popular python libraries go wrong, you need to know C).

I know C so that's fine for me.

It just doesn't suit me that is all.
