In my time wasting activities on geeky social news sites, I’ve been seeing more and more articles about Scala. The main reasons I became interested in Scala are 1) Scala is an OO/FP hybrid, and I think that any attempt to introduce more FP concepts into the OO world is a good thing and 2) Scala’s Actors library is heavily influenced by Erlang, and Scala is sometimes mentioned in the same context as Erlang as a great language for building scalable concurrent applications.

Great comparison. I've been looking at Erlang and Scala lately and this article cleared a few things up for me.
