On that I fully agree. And the reason why scala approach doesn't work is because it's horrendously inefficient. What actually does work at massive scale is the GPU style workload.

Intel tried with their Larrabee on what happens if they just toss in ton of traditional low performance CPU cores. It failed to perform. It's really hard to beat the modern SIMT style GPUs when it comes to massively parallel computation.
