This course -- https://www.coursera.org/course/programdesign -- offered
next May will be taught in Racket.  Racket is another Lisp-based language,
so you may find the concepts to transfer over to Clojure a little more
readily than those in the Scala class.

Brown University is also offering an online course right now, outside of
the Coursera umbrella, about writing interpreters, also taught in Racket.

The Scala guys have invested considerable time and energy into making their
Eclipse IDE plug-in professional-ready, and despite that, in this opening
week they are getting pummeled by posts on the forums with compatibility
problems and crash reports.  I remember when F# got integrated into Visual
Studio, it took them a full year of effort to polish their existing plug-in
into something ready for the masses, even though the plug-in was already
pretty good.  It's important, I think, not to underestimate the ease of
install and tool refinement needed to make a massively-online course a
success.  I don't think Clojure's there yet.
