I disagree that Clojure's support for concurrency is "much better" than Scala's. It has very good support for concurrency, but so does Scala. And it goes without saying, both are FAR better than Java.
For me -- and probably many other JVM programmers -- there are two big reasons not to use Clojure: dynamic typing and Lisp syntax (or lack-of- syntax). Of course it's a matter of taste, but I think Scala is more to the taste of recovering Java programmers than Clojure. Nevertheless, a show on it would certainly be interesting. It would be great if the posse could get Rich Hickey on for an interview. - Neil On Jan 18, 6:15 pm, Ed <[email protected]> wrote: > With all this talk about Scala it would be nice to see a show > dedicated to Clojure.
