Hello Oleg (?),
Emotion aside. I think the results count: Scala is fast and works well.
In some ways faster than Java. [1]
From my short research I agree that Groovy is out of the game - in
terms of performance.
But again: It doesn't really matter what language you use: Fast
applications are written by good
programmers who know their terrain. If a person here wants to develop a
compiler he should better
use a language he knows well, than one that could be faster. I am giving
a AS3 compiler a shot ...
lets see how far I get :)
yours
Martin.

Martin,
My personal problem with languages like Scala or Groovy is that a lot is
lost in translation. They, pretty much like HaXe had chosen JVM because it
is popular, no other particular reason. But, if you write in them, you
create a dependency on dependency to dependency, and that just feels wrong.
Here's some Groovy example, so you'd get a hint of what I'm talking about:
