As a Clojure dev, I find this attitude absolutely baffling as well. I can assure you that nothing at all about Clojure makes you a good dev. Nothing about any language makes you a good dev.
Want to fast-track a new project into a convoluted legacy codebase few humans can grok? Hire a bad dev and have them write in any language, it doesn't matter. I've seen Clojure code bases passed through a dozen hands that no one could figure out.
- idontpost 8y agoI think the attitude comes from the fact that Clojure is almost never someone's first language, and someone that went out of their way to learn it probably learned it to solve some problem they had with another platform. Those two factors right there weed out a certain bottom percentile of developers.
