[nem-en] Scala: what you say about it?

[NoiseEHC]

BTW I do not propose a new type system, just some notion of automatic 
interface generation/implementation,
automatic propagation/checking of invariants, and some simple rule based 
local variable capture.
I am clearly not in a position to decide whether it is a well researched 
area or just some macro work,
or a known impossible thing in language design so that is the reason I 
asked about that.
