Actually, in Scala it's idiomatic to skip the type on vals (unless they're complex structures or you NEED to declare the type as a higher-level, like it's a public val of a java collection and you want to enforce the interface).
Also, if you type "new Model<blah>()" and do an insert-variable while it's under the cursor, it will create the val declaration for you (with the type if you want).
