That&#x27;s not really true. Yes there are challenges with reified generics and yes Scala&#x27;s generics don&#x27;t fit. However you can work around it by doing the type erasure yourself. You can always consider a List[Int] to be a List[Any] and be done with it. And yes that&#x27;s going to generate inefficient code, but ClojureCLR doesn&#x27;t seem to mind.<p>No, the reason for why Scala.Net didn&#x27;t happen is because nobody cared. To find proof of this, you only need to look at Clojure. Its .NET implementation is well maintained by David Miller, yet it&#x27;s very unpopular. And the reason for why .NET developers don&#x27;t care is because they don&#x27;t have an open source culture. Or in other words, if it doesn&#x27;t come from Microsoft, then it doesn&#x27;t exist.
