Over the years Scala has adopted some of the concurrency primitives from clojure, now I think if you compare the two there isn't much of a difference between them, however when you start to add in third party libraries I think Scala is actually pulling ahead of clojure. With Akka not only does it do single node concurrency well it also does multinode concurrency with two or three extra lines of code.
- Skinney 13y agoWell, when you add in third-party libraries, Clojure can use these too. I wasn't aware Scala had incorporated Clojuires STM, I thought Scala was married to Actors/Akka?
- dkhenry 13y agoAkka has implementations of STM, and a few other niceties from Clojure land. Also your right Clojure can use Akka just like scala so neither is any better for it, but scala can call native clojure code too. What I have found Awesome is that I can work on a scala project or library and hand it off to my co worker who is a clojure guy and he can incorporate it.
