Hey Matthias,
I know -- I've been talking to Werner about it. He wants to get the basic
module up and running with Groovy and Java first, but he doesn't think it'll
be hard to add Scala (and other languages as well).
What's interesting is what happens if you start writing JSF extensions in
other languages (witness Gracelets). For example, what happens if you
implement the event dispatching in the Application class via Scala actors?
Since actors are supposed to be asynchronous, I wonder if we'd see
performance gains.
