Please don't do that. I don't want to go work for some Scala shop or team in the future and find out that I'm limited to L1-only features because of management

  ...what is to stop them from doing it now? I don't think you can fix management problems at the programming language level. Also, at least for the next five years, I doubt you'll have to worry much about those kinds of shops deciding to pick up Scala.

  Instead you'd prefer the team to just pick Java or a lesser JVM language over Scala because they're cautious about some of the complexities implicit conversions bring? If there was a safe, 'simpler' subset of Scala, I think you'd see a lot more adoption. And hell, once you get a job there, you can always make a good case for using some of the advanced stuff in certain parts of the code. Unfortunately in the world we live in, not every programmer should be given the tools to let them write their own DSL as a means to accomplish their day to day tasks..
