It's interesting that Yegge places Clojure into the 'conservative' camp whereas the author of this post places it into his equivalent of the 'liberal' camp. Personally, I think that says more about Yegge than the author of this piece, but I suspect that it might also say that the distinctions that each is making might be subtly different.
- rntz 11y agoI think it simply reflects that the distinctions each is making are, to a great degree, subjective and up for debate. See, for example, http://blog.ezyang.com/2012/08/is-haskell-liberal-or-conservative/ http://blog.ezyang.com/2012/08/is-haskell-liberal-or-conserv..., which argues that Haskell of all languages is, in a sense, liberal.
