Script Development in Scala

[volatile474]

Hello all, 

I am new to the osbot script development community (wrote some scripts for a different bot back in the day). Was wondering if anyone has had experience building scripts in a language that compiles down to Java (scala, kotlin, etc). I am working on a simple POC (fish, chop trees, cook, repeat) in scala and running into a bunch of classdefnotfound exceptions during runtime. ie:

```
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: scala/collection/Seq

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: scala/math/Ordering
```

I have tried packaging scala into the jar through intelliJ's project structure page, but no positive results. This is probably because the OSBot client doesn't package the scala jars itself, and just dynamically loads the selected script? (but not that script's dependencies)

Would love to be able to write these scripts in scala, code looks much cleaner that way.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Jesus how big are your scripts going to be? Is it even worth it if your scripts are 100MB downloads?

The size of script doesnt matter if it's all local

The syntactic benefits of using scala far outweighs any concerns around sizing of the jar, also it isnt nearly that big lol.

Well... I admit defeat, unless I can add scala jars as core dependencies of the osbot client, dont think any scala features will compile.  Java it is I suppose

Seems hardly worth the effort for a preference in style
