The first thing that fascinates me is Martin Odersky's pronouncement that functional programming (FP) and object-oriented programming (OOP) are orthogonal concerns. The idea is that you can do OOP in imperative as well as in functional languages; there's no need for a great divide between the functional and OO realms. So where functional languages like F#, OCaml, and Haskell normally avoid the use of objects, Scala embraces them. That's pretty wild!
