If you are new to functional programming
It is a marriage of the java object oriented and functional programming worlds. It has built in pattern matching support like many other functional languages and so good at handling XML data/DTDs.
It is compatible with the JRE and .Net CLR environments, so all those old libraries will still be available. However it doesn't seem to have gained the mind share of other newcomers like Ruby and C#, or the not so new like Python.
