And not to mention, wasn't Lisp originally meant to run on non-Windows OS'?

Let us avoid language wars here, but I think Scala is much more readable
and practical than LISP. Scala does not require functional programming
like LISP. OOP is fully supported, but functional programming is also
solidly supported. It is called Scala because it is intended as a
scalable language, where one can use advanced features as needed. In my
opinion, Scala is a revolutionary language, not just in the ivory tower
but in the real world as well.
