Kestrel is a port of Blaine Cook's "starling" message queue system from ruby to scala: http://rubyforge.org/projects/starling/
In Blaine's words:
Starling is a powerful but simple messaging server that enables reliable distributed queuing with an absolutely minimal overhead. It speaks the MemCache protocol for maximum cross-platform compatibility. Any language that speaks MemCache can take advantage of Starling's queue facilities.
The concept of starling is to have a single server handle reliable, ordered message queues. When you put a cluster of these servers together, with no cross communication, and pick a server at random whenever you do a set or get, you end up with a reliable, loosely ordered message queue.

Code sizes are typically reduced by a factor of two to three when compared to an equivalent Java application.
