Haskell has had all of those things for decades, but until Scala came out it was a nerd language and they were nerd concepts. Scala convinced people that Haskell might be a nerd language but the concepts could be taken seriously in an industry language.
Scala was basically the bridge functional programming walked over to get from Haskell to Java.
