Last time I was really, seriously confused about the code was when going through a Scala codebase written by a person deep in love with traits. My problem was less of the syntax or "denseness" and more of nonlocality - every conceptually "whole" algorithm was split into 10 or 20 files and 2 class hierarchies, each having their own hierarchy of traits.
It made some sense in the end, but it took me a lot of time to figure that one out - not because it was complicated, but didn't fit in my head. That the original author was uncooperative and didn't want to explain things too much didn't help either.
