No, it's not quite what it sounds like. :-) Stuart Halloway recently posted a series of blog entries entitled "Java.next"[1], discussing the benefits of four other languages that compile to JVM bytecode and interoperate with Java: Clojure, Groovy, JRuby, and Scala. I thought I'd put my oar in and write a parallel series comparing Haskell to these. I've finished a draft of the first posting, started on the third, and made a couple of notes on the second and fourth, and I thought I'd post the drafts[2] and solicit comments here. If you have time to read and comment, I'd greatly appreciate the help; feel free either to e-mail me privately or post here. Also feel free to forward this to anybody else you feel might be interested in commenting.
I'll probably be posting these about one per week, starting some time next week.
