I definitely want to check out Scala (and Kotlin, for that matter) at some point! I write Java all day at work, and while I quite like the JVM as a platform the actual language itself just feels really... heavy, for lack of a better word. Not my least favourite, by any means, but if there's languages that would give me the same upsides but feel less clunky I'm all for it :)

Yes, I think it's worth it :)
And quite honestly, after reading so many positive articles about Kotlin, if I were to decide between Scala and Kotlin today, I'd give a go to the latter.
Have fun() !
