He actually touched on this towards the end of the presentation. To simplify, he states that Clojure is about data and Scala is about types. When accommodating dynamic data, it's easier to use Clojure because of the ubiquity of Maps a

You beat me to this comment. Ceylon brings nothing new to the table that would make me jump the Scala ship. What's the point of having Nullables if we're still forced to do glorified if(*.isNull) ... else ... checks? I'd much

I recommend checking out Play Framework for a modern Restful Java Web Development framework. I must add that the templating engine and under the hood api are written in Scala. It doesn't take long for an experienced Java dev to become

>it's much harder to integrate Java with Scala than with Clojure or Groovy, let alone Kotlin. Your kidding right? Scala's Java interop is seamless compared to that of Clojure.
