I'm not a fan of Java, but the JVM is an incredible piece of software that centuries of man hours have been spent optimizing. And while Java might not be a pleasurable language, the enterprise masochists have written millions of lines of battle tested code in libraries. The deployment and monitoring model for the JVM is very well understood, which means Clojure is uniquely positioned to be introduced into large organizations.
- flavio81 9y agoI agree with you (and i'm surprised at people downvoting my post). Thus, i repeat: Clojure is an excellent (and for me, preferred) alternative to Java on the JVM. However i would have liked to see it progressing into a language where you could have the same code run without changes on many platforms -- at least the JVM, CLR, LLVM, and if possible the javascript engines.
