#2Nice to see the language page be as easy on the eyes as the language itself. There's almost no excuse not to use Scala if you're deploying on the JVM.
On a related note, does anyone else see the Scala logo and confuse it for a symbol representing databases or hard disks? It just doesn't click with me

Curiously, the Scala logo is reminiscent of the stairs in the photo at the bottom of the linked page.
The ubiquitous "segmented drum" database icon has had me wondering before. Presumably it's a depiction of some big old vintage hardware.

The logo actually resembles the stairs @ EPFL :) https://secure.flickr.com/photos/gilles_dubochet/7327041044/

Yes, Gilles Dubochet crafted the Scala logo from these stairs.

#6The page loads quite slowly on my macbook air. I wonder how many 'reactive' Scala web technologies went into the creation of it!
Scala is wonderful and all the hard work put into it is greatly appreciated. However, every Typesafe product targeting the web that I've tried has given my browser indigestion.

Scala means "stairs" in Italian (and perhaps Spanish; I forget.) As another person noted, the logo is based on the stairs at the birthplace of Scala, EPFL.

It must be something with safari as it is very slow on my iPhone running iOS 6

In Spanish it's "escalera", close enough :P
