> Is there a reason I should still try clojure?

Probably not if you want to keep that Haskell background. I feel Lisp/Haskell have very different philosophies and you might not like Clojure's.

OTOH, stepping out of your comfort zone is always a great way to expand your views (even if you hate Clojure at the end).

As a Clojure guy currently learning Haskell since I'm curious about working with a good static type system, I'm interested in why you're using Scala instead of sticking with Haskell?
