I've got no problem at all answering people's questions, if you look at my comment history. I just think this particular question was both vague and lazily written. It's natural that a question requires more effort to answer than to ask, but a thoughtfully asked question clues potential answerers into what the asker already knows and has already attempted to do to educate themselves. Like "I know Scala is X and Y, but why would these things be useful on the browser side?" or if you don't know anything about Scala in the first place, "I read Wikipedia about Scala but didn't understand Z, could someone explain this?"
