This article was written in 2016. A couple years later in 2018, the last couple times I've heard Clojure mentioned it was it was to sarcastically mock the trendiness of the industry. E.g. "My side project is a social media platform that leverages big data, machine learning, and blockchain... and it's written in Clojure". Has Clojure already lost its cool mystique in the 2 years since this was written? If so I think that further proves the point that assuming good/bad things about a person's talents based on the tools they have used in the past is foolish.
