2013 Scala newbie here. Scala feels nice in the way that Python feels nice. They both give the newcomer some say in what programming paradigm they get to think in. I like languages like that. I'm a little hesitant to call Scala "Java without the semicolons". Going too implicit too soon might cause things to go horribly wrong while climbing the learning curve. Besides that, it might scare my colleagues if I was ever to bring that kind of code to work.
