You will never obtain a deep understanding of functional programming by using Scala. You'll simply never be able to think those thoughts, even though you are otherwise capable.
Scala: * Functions are first-class (not really) * Types are inferred (not really) * Monad comprehensions (not really) * Free theorems and types (not really) * Type constructor polymorphism (not really) * Tail calls (not really) * Rank-n Types (not really) * … (not really)

What are you expecting type-inference wise? Especially with subtyping involved.

Well, that's a question for the language designers ;)

Why do you say no first-class functions? Because of compatibility with jvm 8 lambdas?
