The Android operating system provides a powerful, open platform for mobile development. It leverages the power of the Java programming language and the Eclipse tools platform. Now you can add the Scala programming language to that mix. In this article, see how you can use Scala as the primary development language on Android.

You can strike the "at least for the JVM". There are some academic languages that might be considered more powerful (haskell, clean, oz). And of course if you are looking for raw performance there is always C++.
But at least on the CLR there is nothing available that is as powerful yet clean as scala. C# contains too many nonorthogonal language features, and F# feels like two languages grafted into one (a bit like C++/CLR).
