Many JVM developers for whom programming is craft rather than a day job are definitely looking at both Scala and Haskell. Lots of excellent stuff going on with both, as you point out - concise, safer.

That is true. As someone who thinks both ways (craft and day job) the issue with Scala (that with which I have the most experience) is the tooling.
