I agree with the first half of the statement - there are many redundancies in the Scale docs and many things left unexplained - the FP aspects are virtually intangible to the majority of the programmers.

This make the language useful. Even for the folks that stopped reading the Intro after chapter 2 admit that: We have the specific problem that we want our code to be compatible with .NET and Java 2 - Scala opens for us a way to use a modern language without letting this go.
I think in languages world Scala and F# are showing how to be, and Ruby is showing how to act. Ofcourse you need JVM or .NET, you need a big stable framework .
