This guy sounds like the LoperOS fellow talking about Clojure, but after a margarita. http://www.loper-os.org/?p=42 http://www.loper-os.org/?p=42

- hga 16y agoYeah, but the LoperOS guy has a serious point, one that will in fact be addressed after most of the Clojure that is written in Java is reimplemented in Clojure ("Clojure in Clojure"). From there one or more people with implement "Turtle Clojure" as I like to call it, turtles all the way down to the bare metal or OS or whatever. It's the reason one of those "match a language to a picture" items had Clojure represented by Locutus of Borg, or as Reddit commentator pillsy put it, "Clojure is a terrifying meld of a beloved character and an unreasoning alien onslaught." Whereas I didn't see much merit to this guy's Clojure comments. E.g. yep, Clojure is uglified by the syntax for maps and vectors, but the generalization this allows, by making them first class homoiconic data structures, is potentially worth it.
