We looked at Scala in summer 2008... we were very tired of data typing in general and OOP (specifically Java). We did not find any comfort in Scala regarding these aspects. Concurrencent processing in Scala did not enthusiast us either.
We wanted a significant code compression factor compared to equivalent Java code, Scala provided some improvements compared to Java but we gave more value to a Lisp like macro implementation, it's more flexible and allows us to compress our code at will and give any form we want. When we found Clojure, we tossed Scala away with no after thoughts. Absence of data typing, a good macro implementation and ease of use of concurrency made us very happy at the time and we are still happy today about our decision. All of the above may be a matter of taste, at some point in my professional life, I would like to work with tools of my choice that fit with my mood than wearing straight jackets to please my customers...
