One more reason to learn Scala: Scala.js with Lutz Hühnken (Typesafe)

There are plenty of good reasons to learn and use Scala, and Scala.js adds another one: Scala.js allows you to compile Scala code to JavaScript, and run it in a web browser.We will inspect a little example application that shows the development setup, and how to use JavaScript libraries such as jQuery from Scala. We will examine how to test the code and how to call Scala functions from JavaScript.
