Heh, even as a long-time Java developer (since '97), I'm here because I want something _better_ than Java. It's why I learned Groovy in 2008 (sort of "Java-lite" - fixes most of Java's problems but suffers from performance issues compared to Java), Scala in 2009 (sort of "Java++" - fixes most of Java's problems but suffers from a split personality since it's a hybrid OO/FP language and has a frightening type system - for the people I need to work with), and then Clojure in 2010. I went to production with Groovy (in 2008) and it was a successful project. I went to production with Scala in 2010 and I'm sort of happy with it. We're going to production with Clojure in 2011.
