Scala tends to be more of a kitchen sink, kind of an academic experiment brought to industry, whereas Go is way too far down the path of having only “absolutely needed” features - they promoted it as a “pragmatic, boring” language to focus on your business and write consistent code. As a result, this approach makes the language less expressive, really boring for many engineers, and also, unfortunately, it brought some bad practices - repetitions, error handling from last century, etc. Languages are in a big part matter of tastes, and it does not make sense to criticize their chosen approaches beyond objective technical merits for your tasks.
