Scala missing in the official repo(s)

[Freak Trick]

I was attempting to install Scala (the programming language). The query 'yum 
search scala' on SL 6.3, did not return any positive results. Furthermore, 
there are no packages in non-official repo(s) either. Is it even possible to 
include Scala in the official repos. It is gaining in popularity and a package 
may help many overcome the relatively cubersome process of installing manually.
