Mmmh, that's a tough question.

First of all, definitely behind Groovy, because Groovy is closer to Java in
terms of syntax than Fantom is, so migrating to Groovy would be a bit easier
in my opinion.

In terms of syntax, Fantom is closer to Java than Scala is, so +1 here.
However, Fantom has clearly less documentation material than Scala does and
probably less developers on the market as well, so -2. Then again, Scala
adds some significant complexity while Fantom keeps that baggage to a more
reasonable level, so +1 for Fantom.

Kind of a tie, in my opinion, so the revised migration effort away from
Java, from easiest to hardest, would be:

1) Groovy
2) Scala/Fantom
3) Clojure
