  1. People were talking about 4th generation languages when I was in school, some 35 years ago. Then it stopped, for good reason. There is little added value to a new domain specific language compared to a good library in a 3rd generation language, which gives you the best of both worlds.

  2.  @avidrucker  I never heard of Clojure so I looked it up. Wikipedia classifies it as a functional language. Scala supports both OO and functional programming. Neither are domain specific or 4th generation, both are "general purpose" languages. The point of 4th generation is that you model rather than code, you state what you want as an end result rather than dictating steps to a result.
