I also really like Martin's book, but I wish he would have done more to cut down on the complexity of his language. "Being productive" doesn't just mean that you can write in a language, you also have to be able to read someone else's code and understand what it's doing. Scala's complexity and malleability make it hard for me to read compared to, say, F# which has similar goals to Scala. The title of this blog post is flame bait, but I think there is a kernel of truth in what he has to say.
