True, but I don’t need most of the those tools. Static analysis is most useful when working on large teams. When 3 or 4 people are working on a project, it is mostly unnecessary. I’m not saying error messages are not useful, or static analysis isn’t, they are, but not as much as people are thinking here(wrt clojure) There is 3-5x difference in productivity between java and clojure most of the time, just because I don’t have to read a lot of code to make a change. Clojure, written right, feels like math equation on a board. My eyes don’t dart around up and down figuring out the code. It is terse, to the point and immutable. It is subjective, but clojure vs Java is like doing math with Arabic numerals vs doing them with Roman numerals. I’m sure we need lot more help when doing math with Roman numerals, but that level of help is simply not necessary, and is more about the medium than the message
