Scala is not only means [A Ladder; Stairs], But also A Rock, in Slavic languages... And Marin (the creator of Scala) has polish last name, and most probably is polish..

I don't know what slavic languages you have in mind, but in Polish, Scala does NOT mean a rock, it means "combines"
in slovak and czech language, scala is pronounced the same as 'skala', that means rock.
