I find that the Typesafe (Lightbend) and Typelevel communities are more or less moving in the same direction. Using Shapeless, for example, doesn't seem to really conflict with more mundane Scala usage. I'd say that there's more of a contrast with the Scalaz world, where obscure category-theoretic terms and operators are unavaoidable.

That said, I've had plenty of success applying Scala at work without bringing in overt category theoretical concepts into my codebases. Scalaz remains very much an opt-in community.
