Think of Scala as a library for JavaScript. It's keywords are no more or less a part of JavaScript than jQuery's '$' or CoffeeScript operators.

Unlike CoffeeScript though, using Scala to generate JavaScript does not require attention to the way JavaScript works any more than JavaScript requires attention to x86 instructions when run on V8 via Node.
