> Clojure is not similar to Scala at all. Like I said, I don't know much about it other than it's a pure functional language that compiles to java byte codes, so I lump it in with Groovy and Scala which are both in the same family. Maybe it is easier - Groovy and Scala (as much fun as they both are) definitely aren't. Isn't it as "pure" a Lisp as they can get away with and still run on a JVM though? Lisp has sent many worthy men screaming for the hills.
