My two major complaints with generics in Java is lack of type aliases and the whole issue with primitive types support.

In Scala you can specialize for primitives btw. It has some gotchas, but if you know what you're doing, it works OK.
Thanks for the hint.

Actually, in terms of alternative FP JVM languages, I am more into Clojure than Scala, even though I am a big ML fan.

So I my Scala knowledge is currently at Scala 2.8 level and I wasn't aware of it.
