I think it is right direction.
Nevertheless there are some difficulties.
Martin has written :
I see this difference of approaches as a big opportunity. There are so many great ideas to debate and opportunities to learn from each other! Lots of these ideas feed into the design of Scala 3, with the overall goal to make Scala’s integration of paradigms even tighter than it is now, as well as making it simpler and safer.
Scala is integration of paradigms. It is great. But it can make almost everything kitchen syndrome.
I can see it in these topic. It creates the high wall between scala community and other world. It seems it is a communication problem 
I think it can be overcome by good business task oriented documentation. IMHO scala has a lack of such documentation. The current documentation is too philosophical in high level(scala for business).
