To be honest, I feel like the next few versions of Java will assimilate all of Scala's good features. Java 8 already added lambdas, the optional type, and so on.
In a production system, Scala is quite frustrating to work with because of the frequent backwards compatibility breaks, and the slow-motion build times. Not to mention the new stuff which almost but not quite duplicates the built-in Java stuff, etc. etc. It would be better just to have a better Java, not a hack on top.
