" (in the middle of building a web app w/Mongodb for a backend)"
you probably have worked with java before and have internalized quite a bit. For e.g I'd guess you are using some kind of servlet based framework to build your web app. Plenty of knowledge reqd right there. I'd be very surprised if someone could (as of today) build anything substantial in Clojure knowing zero java. (I did emphasise the "zero" bit in my original post).
- runevault 17y agoI touched java 1.0 or some such (super early days) very briefly way back when, but otherwise haven't really touched it. Mind you I'm very much a polyglot programmer type so maybe I just know how to do the right google searches to quickly get answers? And the app I'm talking about is using compojure + CongoMongo so it doesn't take any knowledge of the underlying Jetty to do much, Compojure hides a lot of that.
