We started to use Scala along with Java, and soon get bored to switch back to Java bloat, and we dismissed it completely. So now, we are three developers in a young company that are building a product in Scala - but of course, we are heavily making use of the gazillion good Java libraries available around there. I can tell that just having a language that is always standing up between what you want to do and what it allows to do (as was Java for me - I like generics, or I would really have been able to like them) is a big win. But really... it's more a matching between you wit and the language than what others are saying that is important to have the work be done...
