I think it is really interesting how Typesafe is basically acquiring everything good/interesting in the Scala space. It makes for a very different ecosystem than say ruby or clojure or go.
I think this is actually a good approach for making Scala something that larger companies will rely on, while benefitting smaller shops and individual developers.
Now, if only Typesafe would either build or buy a scala compiler that is as fast as go's. If they did, I would be a scala developer like yesterday.
