Say that to Uncle Bob or the guys who maintain ClojureScript, Cursive (JetBrains based Clojure IDE) or Om which is a port of React not to mention Apache Storm which was written in Clojure.
- merb 11y agoDon't get me wrong I still think Clojure has it's place, but saying others are overly complicated when talking about Clojure is somehow awful. Lisp is near dead, without Clojure lisp would only be used to train how to implement parsers, compilers, academic stuff. Yeah there are a few people who know lisp, you also forgotten about Walmart, which is a lisp user, however the majority of people in functional languages still won't learn Clojure. But still don't care about, use the tool/language you are familiar with, especially if you could use it in your company. I also see a lot of pressure against scala, and I'm a scala user, but I just don't care.
