For an article that bitches about Scala too much, the recruiter clearly overlooked another poster child of Scala - Twitter! While the general premise is well intentional, but really, what you need the tool for makes more sense. Sure, FourSquare and Twitter use Scala - but the rest of world's backend needs aren't that special cases. I hope the op recognizes that organizations are inherently islands and sometimes the smaller more productive ones tend to be little paradises of productivity with no ferry service. Happy swimming there :-)
