Anyone doing some interesting Scala front and back projects? I'd love to hear some success (or lessons learned) stories. Is there a good "skeleton" project for a front end Scala.js + back end Scala.

I'm especially interested in reusing model objects between front and back, or is the best practice still to just use REST services the "old fashioned" way? (vs a more GWT-like approach that feels a little more like an RPC)

I would love to have my next project be all Scala but I wonder what are the benefits beyond just having a single language in the project. Is there a good sbt plugin / template that has a good workflow for continuous development/integration/deployment using Scala+Scala.js?
