#3It looks like there's been a very conscious effort to strike a midpoint between Java's familiar clunkiness and Scala's hipster experimental side.
I think that's a good thing, you end up with a language that feels pragmatic and powerfully practical.

Other factors to consider are tools support, how often interoprability with java libraries causes problems. Would be nice to hear from someone who has used it a bit about what the state of these is?
