I'll wait on the Apache Shiro before I continue with my work on LDAP I'll look into adding Scala support after I have gotten more experience with the framework for that I'm planning on trying to create a viewer using http://emberjs.com/ first

In fact, Isis' pluggable programming model does has the capability to support other programming languages, and I did do some work on supporting groovy as a language. In theory other programming languages could also be supported. I did look very briefly at Scala, but the integration would definitely be more complex because the Scala compiler does rather more exotic things. If getting Scala support is very important to you, then of course you should raise a JIRA ticket. However, it's not really particularly high up on my priorities. If you fancy taking a crack at it, I'm happy to provide some pointers. (The Groovy support only took me an evening to get going, so it might not be that difficult. But the tricky bit is in testing it in a real-world situation to make sure that it works in practice).
