I think you're thinking of some other animal <grin>..

The SCALA language was developed by Professor Martin Bodersky at EPFL, a 
university I think in Switzerland, but it wasn't until 2008 that it became 
really usable.

Here's a description of sorts:

"The name Scala stands for "scalable language." The language is so named 
because it was designed to grow with the demands of its users. You can apply 
Scala to a wide range of programming tasks, from writing small scripts to 
building large systems. "

:)

Take care,
Janis
