I was under the impression that Scala is scalable in the sense that it 
scales to, for instance, scripting. So, a language for scripting, but 
certainly not a language only for scripting.

But yes, even without Scala the "even" is out of place. I see no reason 
why closures would be out of place in "scripts".
