If that's true, then Scala was simply specified less precisely than Java. As lemming said, Scala is a massive superset of Java's functionality. Off the top of my head, I can rattle off a slew of functionality in Scala that's not in Java: *

The parentheses are only one hurdle that Clojure makes you jump over, though. The other is Functional Programming. I read an article here or on Proggit a few weeks ago by a (semi-professional?) game programmer who reviewed his own attempts
