If you are a Java programmer, and you want to spend more time with family and friends, you should learn Scala.

You should learn python?

+Michael Poloni, I've been writing Clojure (at Australia Post) for the last nine months. Much more enjoyable, elegant and productive than Scala.

Code run in JVM actually faster than Python code. JVM today is already not yesterday's JVM.

Computer languages should run on JVM if want to high scalability, like Scala and Clojure. Ruby fall out due to this. Python, a beautiful language, but not sure whether Google will stick with it. Like it's favourite baby Android written in Java ...

I've heard Scala is hard to read. There are other better JVM languages - what about groovy?
