Hello all, @Luc I'm not a OO adversary, but no evangelist too ;-)
@Mike I think the difference between Scala and Clojure is not OO vs not OO, but rather static vs dynamic typing. Clojure is OO too, but as you see with Luc, you can ignore it ;-) @Adam Cool! A RH-video I want aware of! Thank you! (I read he did a talk just about macros this year, but I dont know whether there is a video or slides of it on the web.) @Michael Yep, again some stuff for the comparison list. Thank you. An interesting discusssion! Thank you all!
