Scala has worked out very well for us. We introduced a similar stack (Scala services backend "data switches" with various front ends using the APIs. For your Java team Scala will be a snap to pick up, and undertaking to master. But the nice thing about is everyone can be fully productive as more and more advanced techniques find their way into code. Scala code can be made overly complex in the wrong hands. So can Ruby and Python :)
