Code that makes use of features unfamiliar to the reader appears more complicated. Of course, it may be that Scala is more complicated than Java.
I don't know Scala, but it is my understanding that it provides all of Java's functionality (possibly with different syntax) for the purpose of interoperation, as well as its own features. If that's true, then the language is more complicated than Java, even if the code you actually write is not.
