Scala is discussed frequently in Clojure circles, both positively and negatively. The former isn't fanboyism, and the latter isn't trashing -- it's talking about tradeoffs, experiences, and opinions. These things happen on the internet.

The more non-Java languages gain traction, the better the world is for Clojure programmers, so I wish the Scala community only the best. That said, I'll never hesitate to blow Clojure's horn when it has a striking advantage. I would expect nothing less in return.

Scala was mentioned positively as one of the next most favorite languages. I certainly wasn't meaning to put down Scala by including that respondent's (very, very tame IMO) comment.

Overly sensitive, perhaps? :-)
