  Obviously, one big draw of Scala is that it can interoperate with Java and take advantage of existing libraries. But that's a far cry from saying it's mostly a wrapper around Java. New code, including libraries, should be written entirely in Scala. The JVM is itself a valuable target, regardless of Java-the-language. That said, I love Haskell and would definitely enjoy using it at work, but it's a no go for "political" reasons, which is sort of reasonable even if disappointing. Scala scares management way less than Haskell!
