I'm coming from a
Java background, but I've played with Scala a bit. In general, I liked what I saw. But, the Spring set of functionality is also important to me, and I was disappointed in the availability of Scala to Spring integration.
From what I saw, Scala doesn't provide a particularly clean integration with Spring/Hibernate. In some ways, the community has tried to provide replacements (Lift, for example) rather than integrate with the existing libraries. I was wondering in what ways the story with Clojure is similar or different. Is Spring integration, for example, a relatively clean process? Or, does the community provide some equivalent functionality? Same question goes for Hibernate.
Also, if there are some equivalent libraries, how mature are the solutions?
Thanks...Eric
