I like Scala because of the amount of Libraries, Concurrency Primitives available.

Algebird is one of my favorite projects of all time.

Fact that it supports mathematics so well is quite handy. Question is though, does it allow me to develop my game without people needing to download additional plugins?

Well, if you get the build process right. It takes some time for the setup, but I was able to Google it and get it right.

I use SBT, it works rather well, manages my dependencies right.

Oh sorry, I think we have a miscommunication. What i mean is, doesn't compile Scale to java? So doesn't that prevent people from playing the game in their html5-enabled browser in case they don't have a java plugin or sth similar?
