You're missing the point.
The fact that it's implemented as a DSL in Scala is a neat technical trick
that you can't pull off in Java, but Kojo users don't care how you implement
it and they certainly don't get more enlightened in Scala because of this
trick.
Saying that Kojo teaches you Scala is like saying that programming in Java
teaches you C++ because the JVM is written in C++.
