How are Scala Traits implemented in the JVM?
I have been reading about traits in Scala. They are pretty amazing. I am curious how they extend a class without actually resulting in multiple inheritance. I know that the JVM doesn’t support multiple inheritance, so I am wondering how these extensions work. Is the language just providing syntactic sugar for composition? Or is the code within a trait duplicated in each class that uses it?

What are the practical benefits of LISP like syntax which Clojure uses over Java like syntax of Scala?
I spent couple of months learning Scala and got overwhelmed by number of different constructs it had,
After looking at partial functions, partially-applied functions, pattern matching, actor syntax,
I gave a thought to learning Clojure which doesn’t have too much in terms of syntax but looking at the how Java inter-operability is handled, it looks very difficult to get use to.

How is Nothing a subtype of every other type in Scala
I am taking Martin Odersky’s coursera course on functional programming with scala, and for now I have learned two things that together don’t make sense:
How do I initialize a Scala map with more than 4 initial elements in Java?
For 4 or fewer elements, something like this works (or at least compiles):
