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...
