I appreciate your tip. However the error is still problematic that you can't find your stepping on what to fix. Second, I can't embrace Clojure specific idioms that remove other platforms. That's why GraphQL is amazing, it standardizes across platforms for many types of clients. I embrace a polyglot engineering structure and there will be teams that use and consume GraphQL on languages outside of Clojure. I'm comfortable with Emacs (just in VIM mode ;)). Edit: to add, momentum is important in my eyes as well. It's hard to put down the momentum of GraphQL and it's adoption for something niche specific unless the pros heavily outweigh the current momentum. Which is definitely possible (why I'm investing this much energy to discover the viability of Clojure/Script/idioms) but I get very skittish when I see the current issues of community size, errors, and the lack of momentum compared to other technologies (Clojure looks like it's popularity has somewhat peaked unfortunately). If a company/team can leverage Clojure and it's niches as a secret weapon despite it's smaller momentum then that's a huge win. But that means it has to be that big of a win compared to alternative technologies that do the same thing with a larger amount of people familiar with it.
