It's important to distinguish between Java the language, and the JVM.
Neither Scala nor Clojure suck in the ways that Java does.

Personally I would love to have couchdb running on java, even if teh
performance sucks badly. It would be too sweet to have couchdb
applications that run via java webstart.
This is almost certainly a matter of opinion. If couchdb had been
written in java I wouldn't have gone near it. I've used java
extensively
in the past (as a developer & sysadm) and I whilst I realise java has
it's place I'm very, very glad that it wasn't chosen for couchdb.

I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god
than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other
possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours.
