The EasyB syntax for writing stories and specifications is a lot more succinct than the one provided by Specs, the Scala BDD framework (at least when looked upon from a 10K foot view)
It also got me to think why TDD and BDD is not so common with plain Java. Java's atrocious verbosity makes it very hard to write tests and specs. At least superficially, it looks like a pleasure to use EasyB to write specs for Java and Scala programs.

Scala appeals to developers because it's a functional language and not as verbose as most languages. You can see examples of another functional language, Clojure, in Contest Town. Eric Lavigne wrote an instant runoff election and a Wari program using Clojure.
An interesting discussion is going on in the MJUG mailing list. Thoughts?
