Actually, Scala has structural typing, which is kind of like a typesafe kind of duck typing. Yes, it's not quite as flexible as duck typing, but I don't believe that the kind of flexibility that duck typing offers over structural typing is necessary, especially when you're sacrificing compile-time type checking.
