> Scala is one of the smallest typed languages in terms of syntax.

Eh, that slide isn't really worth looking into. None of the languages there have a uniform way to represent the grammar. If you look at the C# and Scala grammars you'll find that the Scala one is highly compacted, whereas the C# grammar is intentionally not compact. They're encoded in different formats.
