I recently took the Scala Course on Coursera and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is the first time I've completed an on-line course - i usually slacken of. The combination of it being interesting and having other friends, like Greg, doing it was what pushed me to complete all of the assignments.
Overall the course was well structured and well run. A credit to Martin Odersky and his staff. If i could do it again, i'd probably try and watch more of the videos! Finding the time is always a struggle.
All said and done, i'm still not sure how i feel about Scala. You can create some very concise code in it, but i also find i can easily get tied in knots. Still, i think it is good enough to try out on a small project before i make any firm judgements.
It would be great to do something similar in Clojure. I've dabbled here and there, but i'm a long way from being proficient. Next year maybe.
