To be perfectly honest, I don't know Scala very well. I'm more interested in "pure FP" languages than in multi-paradigm languages, because the former seem much more coherent in design to me. IMO, functional programming isn't about adding extra degrees of freedom (or "extra features"), it's about working within very well-defined and rigid constraints (what one might call safeguards).
