I believe that the impression is there because of the fact that Scala really reminds of a dynamically typed language, with type inference and lots of syntax sugar. And if PHP is the only dynamic language one has been exposed to, then well, PHP it looks like. :)

It certainly seems very fair to say that most dynamic languages have most of the features he's bragging about. That seems to be the a repeating pattern of the last several Scala articles I've seen here: The author is all excited about how terse it is (compared to Java, I guess), but it actually looks kind of bloated to me. :)
