For Scala to gain any traction with the enterprise market, it will need strong backing from enterprise middleware vendors. If IBM, HP, Oracle , RedHat and VMWare start shipping IDEs and libraries compatible with Scala and start pushing Scala over Java, only then would the development managers in large enterprises would give Scala a fair shake. And that is unlikely to happen as these vendors have made huge investments in Java that they are not going to cannibalize.
Until then it Java or C# only for the enterprise s/w development; the silver lining is that Java 8 is a significant improvement.
On a personal note, as a java programmer I do not find Scala worth the learning curve. I am into Clojure for my personal/ hobby/ bootstrap programming because it forces me to think differently about programming and I enjoy that.
