When I read about Scala the first time I felt it was awesome! I bought some books and tried to get into it.

But when I read production code it was aweful because of all the DSLs.

Scala does much to reduce code to whats necessary, like python, but there is so much more that it does, which confuses the code readability later :\

The DSLs also lead to bad API design.

The devs are always like "uhuuu if you don't like the DSL just use the normal functions" and write the horrible DSL stuff without the DSL.

(asd ~! fdd %%% sdasd) gets to asd.doSomethingRatherComplicated( with( fdd ) ).alsoGetSomeStrange( sdasd.compile() )

It looks like they are using the ability to build "easy" DSLs as excuse for bad API-design.
