As someone who currently works on the Clojure lib for OpenNLP, I would like to

+1 for Scala/Refactor (or Clojure, but Scala is probably an easier transition
to make :)
I do not think that converting an existing code base to a new programing
language is
good for the project, and tend to vote -1 when it comes to the decision.

Is that a -1 only to Scala, or -1 to a refactor also?
I was just speaking about the Scala/Clojure conversion.
Actually I am +1 for the refactoring and will also help with it, but
that has
to wait a little until we are done with the release here.
