Just to put this in context, I don't think that Scala claims to be a 'modern functional programming language' as such. It's a multi- paradigm language which "smoothly integrates features of object- oriented and functional languages". As far as I can see, Scala is paying homage to OCaml, Haskell etc by injecting functional programming capability into a language that integrates well with Java (and Java programmers), rather than competing with them.
