“Scala is, I think, the most mind-blowing language that I have seen in the last couple of years. Incredible elegance.” ~Erik Meijer at JAOO Aarhus 2008. [Video of a Scala introduction by Bill Venners.]

From what i can see in the video

Scala has cryptic standard-less totally unreadable programming constructs.

How can people use it specially if it changes from developer to developer ?

Scala teams should live by the Spider-Man(tm) principle--"with great power comes great responsibility."

Meaning, when you're using a very flexible and powerful language, be sure that you use that flexibility and power to make things *easier* to understand, not harder. :)
