title: Clojure futures in context of Scala's concurrency models
body: <p>After being exposed to scala's Actors and Clojure's Futures, I feel like both languages have excellent support for multi core data processing.</p>
  <p>However, I still have not been able to determine the real engineering differences between the concurrency features and pros/cons of the two models.  Are these languages complimentary, or opposed in terms of their treatment of concurrent process abstractions?</p>
  <p>Secondarily, regarding big data issues, it's not clear wether the scala community continues to support Hadoop explicitly (whereas  the clojure community clearly does ). How do Scala developers interface with the hadoop ecosystem?</p>
