Trying to drink the scala kool aid here at work, but I had a similar situation with Go and a freelance job. Went from 0 real experience to working code in very little time w/ go. With scala I feel like I've spent more time waiting for it to compile than actually coding. Especially since we have been doing so much in Python, the switch back to compiled Java (with saccharine scala flavor) is like jumping back a decade in terms of productivity. Also, as you mentioned, the Go syntax is much easier to read, superficially just K&R C style with the types on the opposite side of the variable names.
