And also: loops, iterations, if, lists, tuples, sets, maps, fields, methods,
singleton objects, traits, operators and operator overloading, expressions,
case classes, pattern matching, first class functions, currying, closures,
by-name parameters, ...  That's just the simple features. Do I need to go on
with more advanced topics?

The document doesn't even talk about classes nor var and val.

Look, the fact that the Kojo documentation barely talks about Scala is what
makes Kojo great. It's a tool for beginners and thankfully, the Kojo authors
realize this and they understand the concepts of complexity and learning
curve.
