A lot of Java programmers can't stand Clojure and Scala. It's not like functional languages have any real adoption (> 5%) in the industry...
- viraptor 15y agoScala is not really functional. Or at least it doesn't force you to write anything in a functional way. I'd say it's about as functional as Python... which did get a lot of traction lately in various different places.
