> I am reluctant in part because Scala.js does not quite have financial support of Lightbend. Or so it seems, it's a bit hard to tell where Lightbend ends and the non-profit Scala Center begins.

As the Scala team lead at Lightbend, I'd love to have a few members of my team focus on scala.js and scala-native. We do financially support their development (most recently, as part of our funding of the Scala Center).

As a business, it's a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem: our customers usually indicate they are hesitant to switch from JS for their frontend work. It would be great to have more customers provide feedback like yours (via our customer surveys)!

If I was Lightbend (whose work I use/enjoy/thank for) I think I would put Scala.js inside the Play Framework (as opposed to say Coffeescript)
