This is a design decision and/or good/bad programming, but it has nothing to do with Python or Scala, if I am not mistaken. Personally, I am a big fan of Scala because it's concise and provides me with type checking at compile time. However, Scala might be harder to learn than Python (in particular if you are already using Python) and while execution of Scala code may be faster, the compiler is a quite heavy (in terms of hardware requirements) and compile time is a bit lengthy, I'd say.
