Plenty of things are simpler and easier to read in Scala really: lambdas, constructors, case classes, named and default arguments, for comprehensions, collections, operators on non-primitive types, ... Sure, you can find libraries using complex type-level machinery, macros and so on. But wading through complex Java libraries that overuse OO design patterns isn't particularly approachable either.
