Scala has plenty of monads and they work fine.

  Scala also has some pretty powerful syntax to go with
• marijn 13y ago
  Scala has a much more powerful type system than Clojure
  • moomin 13y ago
    100% true, but not as powerful as Haskell's. Not sure you can usefully have inheritance and return type overloading.
    • samth 13y ago
      The Scala and Haskell type systems are incomparable, and the typeclass aspects that are most relevant to monad usability are doable with implicits.
• fusiongyro 13y ago
  Yes, but doesn't it also have the three requirements mentioned by the article: ML-style function foo, something akin to type classes, and polymorphic return types?

    In Scala, currying is not all-pervasive. You have to be explicit about it (and it's a definite pain point).
