Actors had a memory leak when a lot of the formative Twitter Scala stuff happened. This lead to more usage of java concurrency primitives, which snowballed within the culture.

There's some people at Twitter who truly love and grok Scala and Scala idioms inside out, and there's some people who look at Scala as a more functional, less verbose Java.
