I'd have to agree. One of the main benefits touted for guava in this article is the ability to use java libs with cleaner syntax. Scala already enables us to do that, and a lot more. I've coded java for the last 12 years, but have to admit there's no denying that there are cleaner ways of getting things done in Scala, Ruby, Python etc. of those 3 scala is the only one fast enough to be taken seriously.
