First Impressions of Python from a Java Developer

You can do similar in scala, either

  val allowed_usernames = all_users.filter(_.is_admin()).map(_.username)

  val allowed_usernames = for(user <- all_users if user.is_admin()) { yield user.username }

And still get all the of goodness of Trivial jvm/java compatability...

Or Clojure... (or... or... or...)

    (map :username (filter admin? all-users))

Or Clojure again

    (for [username all-users] :when (admin? username))

Nothing against scala, but you can program in Python and get all the goodness of JVM compat by simply running your programs in Jython...

Jython is behind current python implementations. If you're comfortable with being compatible up to python 2.5 then go right ahead. But if you need 2.6 or 2.7 compatibility, Jython is sadly not an option.
