Yes, some of the current Scala-APIs are ugly, but I can't agree with your generalization. - Scala is still in flow, and the community is willing to accept incompatibilities if there is a real improvement. BackwardCompatibility isn't the fetish it became in Javaland - it's important, but only as long as it doesn't block the evolution of the language - Some design decisions are driven by the need to be JVM compatible. A "Standalone-Scala" would certainly look cleaner - You have much more possibilities to work around API shortcomings in Scala than in Java
