[Scala](https://scala-long.org) is a programming language.  It has strong
typing, but is built on top of the JVM, so it has access to all of the JVM's
libraries. 

## Installing

The easiest way to install Scala is to install
[Coursier](https://get-coursier.io/docs/overview), the Scala "artifact manager."
It installs versions of the Scala language, toolset, and even specific versions
of the JVM.  Coursier is installed with a CURL command and, when that is
complete, your Scala environment can be initialized with 

```shell
$ cs setup
```

## Emacs Tools

So far, I've installed:

- lsp-metal
- scala-mode
- sbt-mode
