I have the same feelings about Scala. It was fun to write Scala code and it was inspiring, but the tooling was terrible and there were way too many possibilities to express the same thing. Scalaz was essentially a language in a language that had nothing todo with "normal" Scala.

Now I'm using Kotlin. While a miss a more advanced Scala feature from time to time, I feel more productive because I don't have to think so much about the language itself. And Kotlin is much easier to introduce, plus the tooling is way better.
