Java is getting data classes (case classes in Scala), as well as value types.

  Data classes are nice, but they are not a general substitution for Properties, which address the greater getter/setter boilerplate concern. That said, you can use project Lombok for that pretty straightforwardly. You can also use project Manifold[1] to add useful features many of which Scala lacks: * Type-safe metaprogramming (like F# type providers) * Structural Typing * Extension methods * String interpolation * Templates * Type-safe reflection * [Un]Checked exceptions [1]: https://github.com/manifold-systems/manifold https://github.com/manifold-systems/manifold

  Interesting, I didn't know, thanks for mentioning.
