My couple of comments:
- Great write up, very approachable for who may be on the fence about toying clojure.
- Re: Enterprise, while our enterprise footprint isn't ubiquitous yet, there are a couple of big name companies using clojure pretty heavily. Amazon, Walmart and Two Sigma amongst them. Also, because clojure sits on the JVM, we have a good interop story with legacy java codebases.
- Re: Refactoring, you should checkout intellij + cursive clojure, it's made refactoring codebases much easier for myself.
- erichmond 11y agoAlso, anyone interested in seeing what a productive clojure workflow looks like should check out this screencast http://www.parens-of-the-dead.com/e1.html http://www.parens-of-the-dead.com/e1.html It's definitely "jaw on the floor" worthy, if you haven't seen something like this before.
- owen4d 11y agoThanks. Re: Enterprise, I've seen a presentation about some of the work going on at Walmart. Would be great to hear more 'stories from the trenches' from larger scale developments. It would really help sell the language. Re: Refactoring, yeah, I'm totally busted on that one, my wording was way too strong as I haven't tried either Cursive or clj-refactor. Plus in a way, it's an apples and pears comparison, between OO and FP refactoring.
