Scala-JS has been making very fast progress lately, the 0.1 release wasn't that long ago. I'm excited to see where it goes and I think there's room for some very cool integrations with Play.

With no intention of downplaying it, but I think the biggest "blocker" is the resulting file size, making it unfeasible for production.
Doesn't advanced compilation cover that case?
The "Hello World" example is over 80Mb after compilation.
We've managed to get a hello world app down to about 300kb; most of that is the standard library, and even a several-1000-LOC game like [roll](http://lihaoyi.github.io/roll/) clocks in at about 340kb. Getting this number down is WIP.
akka (Actor System) too, sjrd is working on it
Akka code written in Scala compiling to Javascript??
