A lot of people certainly feel this way, and this feeling has given rise to the first crop of post-Scala languages: Ceylon and Kotlin.
I'm sure there will be more.

(Also, the designer of one of the languages mentioned was completely unaware of Scala when he created his own.)
The person is James Strachan, he created Groovy. Since then, he abandoned Scala and he's now a committer on Kotlin (or was, not sure if he still is, he tends to bounce around projects a lot).
