Scala with mediocre programmers (CommodityScrumDrones writing FactoryVisitor classes) is an outright disaster.

The Java community has its flaws (oh boy, does it) but it has adapted to the hordes of mediocrities. Give Scala to mediocre engineers (who typecast to Any, use null instead of Option[T]) and you have the Java hell with worse IDE support and 5x compile times.

It's quite easy to disallow all of that.

Yeah, pretty sure you could get WartRemover or one of the other static analysis tools to disallow these sort of egregious violations.
