title: What makes Scala scalable?
body: <p>I am a novice learning Scala which is said to be a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scala_%28programming_language%29" rel="nofollow noreferrer">scalable Language</a> . I understand that Scala code compiles into JVM compatible byte code. My questions is what's makes Scala compiler generate a "<strong>scalable bytecode</strong>" and why java compiler i.e. Javac cannot do the same?</p>
