i need convert ASCII-art based tables&forms to XHTML (or any others
XML-based) form - i am not sure that i can use 100% XSLT-XQuery
solution, 100% Java solution should be too big since Java not good for
XML (IMHO), so Scala look very attractive for me ;)

also i think that Scala support can help join to eXist-db many others developers
