Not sure if it helps, but as someone who is a big fan of scripting languages like Python and someone who loves playing with all kinds of programming languages...I found Scala, Clojure, and Kotlin to be a much more frustrating experience than Python in a lot of ways. I wouldn't say there is enough in common.
