L.S.,
A lot of ServiceMix 5 will be about being the best possible runtime container for our beloved Camel routes, CXF services, ... In my mind, a lot of these extra goodies will happen automagically when you drop routes/services/... in the container, so those bits would be 'under the hood' and Scala will work out very good there imho. When we allow people to plug into these container services, we probably have to ensure to either make our Scala traits very Java-friendly or allow them to register these extensions as Java interfaces as well and we just translate them into the Scala thing internally. Anyway, we can definitely figure something out there that allows people to write these extensions in any JVM language they like.
