I was there and worked in company that hired for Scala. I've seen teams who went back to Java 8 be more productive than teams that went hardcore Scala, including Scalaz. If you filter for Scala, you are more likely to pick academic purists trying to show off with their core. If you filter for go, you are more likely to pick pragmatics, who will be aware that every choice is a trade-off (including no generics) and will value maintainable code over clever code. I already made a choice.
