Repackaged scala? How is this different?

  Effects, discerning pure/impure funcs (through effects, AFAIK), better type inference, sound type system, no null, no exceptions. Honestly, just for the language I'd pick Flix over Scala.

    Adding to that: effect inference and polymorphism, unboxed primitives, full tail call elimination, extensible records, first-class Datalog constraints, CSP style concurrency, a multitude of different design choices. (I am one of the authors of Flix)

  In that it's a totally different language? FP and JVM doesn't mean Scala.

    It looks and feels very much like Scala, in my opinion. That's not a bad thing at all.
