So, a more succinct Java, that can't leverage the JVM ecosystem? Why is that better than Scala, which can also be more succinct than Java, but can leverage the JVM ecosystem?

Go is enormously simpler than Scala.

(I also don't agree that the deployment story for the JVM and Go are similarly complex, but that's a different argument).
