Because of Clojure's dynamic typing and idiomatic use of lots of nested expressions it turns out to be a read-only language for me. Scala seems to have a huge image problem. I think part of the problem is that Odersky and crew have never written the treatise on how to use Scala's OO and FP effectively. I'm surprised that Typesafe didn't come up with their own web framework instead of using Play. One lesson to be learned is that these days you need good IDE integration and fast compiles (incremental) for rapid development. But Scala IDE support has come a long ways in the past year or so. The Eclipse Scala worksheets is awesome. I like it better than a standard REPL. Intellij support is still going strong too.
