Yeah pasting a "schema" on the fly like that allows for easy
reflection, but not interoperability i.e. talking to Python/Ruby/
JavaScript or even the underlying native platform as with the
following C#:
((dynamic)new PInvoke ("libc")).printf("Dynamic yet native Hello
world");

I admit there might be an element of that, OTOH there seems to be good
evidence that Scala really isn't as easy to approach as Java and as
such, is hardly a candidate for _replacing_ it.
