well when you create a profile you can inject javascript (custom.js) that modify this : 

https://github.com/ipython/ipython/blob/master/IPython/html/static/notebook/js/codecell.js#L94

IPython.CodeCell.options_default.cm_default.mode = 'scala' // or whatever

Load scala mode fro codemirror. (if it c-like it slightly more complicated, but CM doc is nice for that)
And optionally (but we should fix that), loop through already existing cells to set their mode to Scala
(otherwise hightailing will be off unit you click once on the cell). 

There are a few other things  that IJulia does in its profile like allowing bang (!) as valid char in tokens for tooltips.
as well as adding metadata to the notebook metadata field telling the the notebook is julia (or scala in your case)
for future v3 > v4 conversion where language will be a notebook top level key.
