i would take "large ecosystem" over "powerful" or "cleanest and purest"
whenever i am in the process of picking a language for a project, i check if there is a library for what i want to do
- SomeHacker44 9y agoEvery time I use Clojure for the nuts and bolts of software engineering it reminds me why I prefer Common Lisp. Every time I need to get something done of any magnitude, it reminds me why I prefer Clojure to Common Lisp. So... What "systems" said. Truly, Clojure is a Lisp for Getting Stuff Done, as it has access to an astounding number of libraries targeting the JVM, largely allowing you to focus on your product's core.
