Title: David Pollak, "Scala and Clojure: playing well together"
Description:
Scala and Clojure are both alternative JVM languages. They are both functional languages. But can both languages play well together? Yes, they can. David Pollak, founder of the Lift Web Framework Project and author of Beginning Scala, shows how it's easy and fun to integrate Scala and Clojure. David will demonstrate a ClojureScript front end to a Lift web tier to a Clojure backend... all exchanging data... but more importantly... semantically aligned. Because Scala Seq and Clojure lazy sequences translate to each other and Actors and core.async translate to each other and many of the other idiomatic Scala and Clojure-isms are mirrored in the other language.
