I think the problem is not just that the PHB will not see the benefits. It's difficult to hire people who know Scala -- or Haskell, Erlang, etc. Yeah, good programmers can learn it, but most companies who are hiring experienced programmers require experience in their language choice (even startups, just look at the job ads on HN).
