Doesn't make any sense as Rich makes a big point of having wasted years writing large applications in Java and C++ before discovering Lisp and FP. If anything Clojure is the ultimate anti-OOP which, I think, partly explains its lack of adoption sitting, as it does, on top of a mass of libraries designed with OOP.
- rjeli 9y agook, found it: https://stuartsierra.com/2008/08/08/clojure-for-the-semantic-web https://stuartsierra.com/2008/08/08/clojure-for-the-semantic... I think it was in reference to the java ecosystem, more than "a better way to write java," although I still see it that way.
- cutler 9y agoHow can Clojure be reduced to "a better way to write Java" when you can live quite happily in Clojureland without writing a line of Java or importing a Java library?
