Afaik the suggested a-foundation classes do not depend on Scala at all. 
Of course I would not suggest a dependency on Scala directly, some for 
Clojure. Not because they are bad, but because you pull in too much 
stuff. A-foundation and clj-ds try to get around the problem by having 
no dependency on anything outside. But of course like typical with 
Scala, A-foundation still brings a lot of classes.
