Scala.js might be what you are looking for:

"Scala.js compiles Scala code to JavaScript, allowing you to write your Web application entirely in Scala!"

Site: http://www.scala-js.org/

Github: https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js

There's also a Fantom language. On the main page of its site which it says: Write code portable to the Java VM, .NET CLR, and JavaScript in the browser.

Not truly matching your requirements, but answering your initial question "Is there any Scala like alternative to JavaScript? ":

If you do not like Ruby/Python/Coffescript, you should perhaps have a look at the technology preview of google's new language Dart: http://www.dartlang.org/

Looks very java-ish on a first glance, but has many niceties that make it feel scalastic too. (But do not make the mistake to approach it as another Scala. Only Scala is Scala!)

There is a project "Scala+GWT" that compiles Scala -> a GWT intermediate target. GWT then presumably compiles it to JavaScript. http://scalagwt.github.com/

I think the best you're going to get is something like CoffeeScript, which ultimately compiles to JavaScript. AFAIK, browsers don't have any other cross-browser client-side language with DOM support.
