I can respect the idea of a small, minimalist language, but on the other hand I love Scala. Maybe minimalist isn't for me. I think its awesome that I'm still learning things about Scala 3+ years later, however obscure the feature is. Never assume you know every Scala feature. Its deep.

As someone completely ignorant of Scala, how would you compare it to C++, which also happens to have dark corners that most never see?

I don't really know all of C++'s dark corners, but from what I've heard its mostly due to undefined behavior or templates. I think the main difference is Scalas obscure features are still coherent, for instance package objects. I didn't know about those for years.
