i have recently been excited about clojure, but your behavior and responses of other clojure people in this topic has honestly put me off of it. i understand that things are difficult and cljure people apparently work very hard, but the tone and attitude being used is in stark contrast to what i have seen from communities like those of F# and racket. whether you're right or not, it doesn't seem to be a great approach. for people like me, this is a first taste of clojure.
just a heads up.
- brandonbloom 10y agoMy apologies. The community is actually quite welcoming to beginners. For context, these arguments made by the original poster have been around for _years_ in the Clojure community and, frankly, those of us who have also been around for years are tired of hearing the same old complaints. It's particularly annoying because: the core team has made multiple announcements in past days/weeks about improvements to exactly what he's complaining about!
- nikofeyn 10y agonot trying to be dramatic. haha. i am mainly just excited about clojure but this has been a bit of a contentious debate which gives one pause when first getting their feet wet in a new ecosystem.
