My shop list would be:

1. A compiler as fast as the java one. And a modular scala-lib. Yeah, I 
now...
2. An as powerful and great library to deals with immutable data 
structure modification as the collection one is for collection (lens, 
zipper, etc)
3. Being able to use Scala for scripting. Than implies 1 and a better 
starting time + something to include automagically dependencies, 
essentially. And it will be so good to show how cool and powerful Scala 
is in some little lines. I really would *love* to convert the sysadmin I 
work with to use it as possible replacement of perl or python (or bash), 
but for now, the lauching time are killing that possibility.

IDE support is reaching the point where Eclipse does not go in my way 
anymore and is of real help for boring things (imports, completion of 
long method names, formatting, things like that).

Documentation is OK, especially with so many books and blogs post online.

A "Scala Cookbook" could be intersting, but I would much more prefer a 
repository of Scala scripts, if they were usable for real.

Cheers,
