I did not think it was neutral. While the code comparisons and one benchmark come about similarly, his characterizations of Scala seem biased to me.

Very biased. I've read some pro clojure stuff from the author before.

I can't understand the point in spending time slagging off another open source project that simply has a different point of view.

They're all tools built to solve a problem. Maybe you can't find a use for a 5 headed hammer, but the person who created it found one.

This is not neutral, the guy works exclusively in Clojure as freelancer, so it is fair to assume he is sort of biased.. as others mentioned here before he misses some important aspects which Scala has to offer.

He misses important aspects of clojure (based on some of the comments on his site) and Python as well. In short, he should probably not be getting exposure this wide with these troll articles.

We seem to have differing definitions of 'neutral'.
