I think that the Java language is, for some people. If you choose some language like Clojure it usually means you don't want to deal with Java or any of its derivatives. At least this holds for me.
Moreover I'm looking at Clojure mainly for web development, so this is really something I'm happy they are addressing.
- adamilardi 16y agoJava is "verbose" and I'm real happy to see other languages target the JVM. It will make it very easy to convince "corporate america" to adopt them in the future. In no way is Java a PITA. It's got it's quirks but it remains one of the best platforms for building anything. The community support is great and it has years of development libraries and experience for you to leverage.
- kunley 16y agoWhile I spared my comments on Java on this thread, I was specially referring to the fact that Java's classloaders are braindead. You'll know some years in operations; as a dev you can be hidden from its ugly influence for quite a time.
