It's both object-oriented and functional. The European Union has selected Scala to be granted millions of euros of development funds, there are people who claim it is a very good language.

It supports a Lisp-like macro metaprogramming, it also has a native pattern matching interface on its own code. He is a SymPy contributor, right? Personally, I'd say that this is a waste of time.
