Clojure vs. Scala

Re:Clojure vs. Scala by necrobrit on Tuesday December 24, 2013 @09:33AM (#6959467)

Back in my uni days, aka not that long ago, the scala (which I love)/perl (which I hate) comparison is what made me realise that language arguments are almost always pointless. Any choice you make in a certain class of language is probably going to be roughly equal in terms of ease of use, productivity, whatever; so you might as well just go with what you are comfortable with.

I also love scala and hate perl. I wonder how close the correlation actually is - do the same type of people really like both, or is this just something people who don't like scala say?

I am not as fluent in Scala as I am in Perl, but I do like both. Perhaps, I am an exception.

Very true. I was thinking of the ethos of Perl and Scala, and wasn't trying to compare the languages directly.
