As we reach the middle of our second decade of Java experience, the community has learned a lot about software development. Many of our best ideas on how to use a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) are now being baked into more advanced languages for the JVM. These languages tend to provide two significant advantages:

* They reduce the amount of ceremony in your code, allowing you to focus on the essence of the problem you are solving.
* They enable some degree of functional programming style. Think of it as a dash of verb-oriented programming to spice up your noun-oriented programming.

I have picked four "Java.next" languages to demonstrate these concepts: Clojure, Groovy, JRuby, and Scala. I have written a series of articles and conference talks describing how these languages can make teams more productive.
