VMware invites Scala onto open source dev cloud

"If you build a Scala web app that does not use application services such as a database, the company says, you can deploy it to Cloud Foundry without any changes. Registered developers can see an example here. Of course, most applications do use services. But if you "externalize" services with the Lift framework or tap 'auto-reconfiguration support' with Spring, you should also be able to deploy without modification.

"VMware has already added Scala support to the Cloud Foundry repository, and it will be added to the live service (still officially a beta) in the coming weeks."
