Thanks Sandro, I am awake again, and installing JDK on my Linux box (so much Java dev on that one).
The Scala effort in Zest kind of died off, for primarily two reasons I think. Firstly, personally I am very disappointed with Scala. It is too complex and I think it promotes "cleverness" in code writing, leading to obscure code. Reminds me a bit of Perl, that it is possible to write nice Perl, but most people don't. Secondly, since the experiment was done by Rickard, to support two-way Mixin's and more, Scala has made a couple of major release cycles, and they are notorious for breaking compatibility. This makes it difficult to expense the effort to hook into the language for us, since next release may invalidate every single bit and we need to start over (or get stuck). So, I am a bit ambivalent on how to view future support for Scala. BUT, I don't think Prince is using Scala per se, it is just showing up during the regular Zest build.
