Scala definitely had some missteps but its much nicer to program in than Java and simpler as well. I mainly program in Go these days but I could imagine explaining the benefits of Scala over Go to my coworkers. It would be embarrassing trying to do the same with Java however.

I don’t think anyone I know would classify Scala as simpler. In my opinion Java is a much better language than Go. I can’t imagine anyone liking Scala would prefer it over Java.

  Having coded in Java for 15 years and Go for five, I can say that Go is clearly the better language for most tasks.

    That's just like your opinion man. Mine is that its far too verbose and error prone.
