To date, I have only dabbled in a few Scala scripts on top of an existing Java code base. I found it straight-forward for that job (albeit a small job). I found the "scaladoc" to be a bit sparse, but otherwise navigable. I mostly like the Scala book that the Pragmatic Programmers published (forgot author's name), other than the slow intro.
I'm sure my use of Scala would disappoint the first interviewee, but it was an effective use-case for me. Use the index on the book to scan for likely topics, then round things out with Google.
I found the IDE support a bit broken in NetBeans (6.9). I suspect that the Scala plugin was incompatible with my vi/vim plugin, but I'm not sure. (it would go into a mode where the editing keys would stop working)
