Being a Scala programmer I can tell you that most of the developers I've talked to don't, in general, try to program in an imperative manner. For some solutions/problems it is far more concise to write it as imperative code. That's not a problem or negative of the language. That's a plus. This appears nothing more than a "I'm a fan of this language, mine is better" post. They're just different languages. Both do the same thing but in different ways and both happen to be on the JVM. Neither one is "better."
