Will Scala as a second language come along with js, is it more like js of all languages + there is a Play framework, or should I choose something else, preferably with static typing and inclination towards functional programming?

Scala is more like js of all languages

What kind of joke is this? How can a static, strongly typed, compiled language with a rich type system be like a dynamic, interpreted script?

If similarity to JS is critical for you, then why not use JS directly in the back-end? I mean NodeJS. At the same time, it will be possible to use the same code in places both on the back-end and on the front-end.

As an intermediate option, I recommend looking at TypeScript. It has a lot more similarities with Scala than JavaScript, and it's easier to get started with JavaScript.
