Groovy Creator James Strachan on Scala

The main point reflecting my own considerations on the subject Groovy vs. Scala:
"I can honestly say if someone had shown me the Programming Scala book by by Martin Odersky, Lex Spoon & Bill Venners back in 2003 I'd probably have never created Groovy."

I really like Scala being a statically typed language. And the elegant functional extensions to the object oriented modell are well worth learning this new language...
