Note that a decrease in LOC does not imply a corresponding increase in productivity. Our Scala code is easily smaller than its equivalent Java representation, but: 1. Thinking about the problem and modeling it properly is still hard, and language independent 2. The language still has its own quirks/failings that you have to work around PS. My comment has nothing to do with Scala per se - I'm using it as an example.
