I am not the author nor have I tried it yet myself. Still downloading the war (yeah I am on a slow wire).

But it's hugely appealing that 1. It's written in Scala. (A language I am familiar with) 2. It's packaged as a single file; download and run. I like single file installs. YouTrack by JetBrains is another example.

I'd missed YouTrack (which considering I adore phpstorm and pycharm is annoying), it looks excellent :).

YouTrack is neat. Keyboard shortcuts for everything, well thought out interface. And it is implemented in this new meta-language called MTS.

MTS is a topic unto itself. Check out this for example: http://mbeddr.wordpress.com/blog/ An Embedded C DSL, built using MTS.

The JetBrains guys build incredible products and have a wide range of products all of which seem to be updated on a very regular basis, they are some intimidatingly efficient developers :).

You mean MPS http://www.jetbrains.com/mps/, not MTS, rt?

Right, thanks!

To say it was heavily inspired by GitHub would be an understatement.

Agreed. Often times things that sound useful are posted here, but I don't really feel like I need them (not necessarily the case here). A screenshot could create that need :-)
