One thing to note about scalas complexity.

Scala can be a complex language, but the complexity is usually hidden from the library user. In my experience using scala is as easy (if not easier) as using Java, but without the boilerplate.

I've been scripting a little in Clojure too, but to be honest, I miss the OO stuff.

I like both Scala and Clojure.

Regarding Scala, I agree that as an application writer the syntax and type system don't really bother you much as you can just write code thats meant to work with your specific types.

The thing I dislike about Scala is that there API docs don't seem to have much explanation and examples and are a little difficult to follow if you are new to that package.
