I'm not a scala dev but I'm curious, what makes scala a good scripting language? Bash has its faults but it's still great for adhoc stuff and when it stops being great you can just move to a more specialized build config tool. Scala seems a bit more verbose and it's unclear what you gain from it.
Is it similar to what's going on the JS world where people just want to use one language for client, server, and build tools? (and for this case, even the terminal shell?)
