"I was a little confused by the fact that the post lists scala as one of the "hipster" languages in the opening paragraph and then starts using it as an example of the java way? "
Well once you define the "java way" to be "build highly configurable code by providing a way to combine small granular pieces of code into larger chunks of functionality" (which is just Programming 101 , See SICP for e.g) it probably still makes sense to write the "java way" programs in Scala ;-)
Makes sense to me! :-P
As nostrademons says elsewhere on this thread ,"Parameterizing behavior is usually a good thing in any language, yes..."
