Agreed on all points.
OTOH learning/using a new language can be good fun, so with that in
mind having Scala in ISPN might be a positive think. From what I saw
discussing with people is that not everyone shares this enthusiasm in
using Scala, and even fewer in debugging Scala.
Agreed.
*If* someone wants to learn a new *great* language, learn Clojure. Blows
Scala right out of the water**1 :-)
But even if I like Clojure, would I write some of JGroups (e.g. a
protocol) in Clojure ? No way, exactly for the same reasons that I
listed in this email thread.
**1: OK, I have to admit that I did a fair amount of CLOS back in the
days, and love Lisp dialects...
