Not sure if I'm getting the joke here, but this seems to be a great way to spent most time on development rather than actually building a product.

- amorphous 8y agoNot meant as a joke at all. I have spoken to a few companies that chose Clojure as their development language. They had problems finding people because it's a new language. When I asked them why didn't they just chose something more established like Java with a seemingly unlimited supply of developers they said that they want to attract a certain type of developer that they are willing to train. And that goes both ways. I want to work for a company that chooses language X instead of ruby-python-java-and-the-like because they care. Mind you, this is not meant as a language bashing, not at all Edit: obviously, those companies chose Clojure first of all because of technical reasons, but the hiring part is another perk
- dancek 8y agoNot sure if you're familiar with the mentioned languages. I've been working on my first Clojure/ClojureScript project for a couple of months now. Alone, with no previous real-world experience on any lisp. I dare say I'm more productive now than I would be with React+Redux and a Spring/ASP.NET/Rails backend (all of which I have experience with in more than one project).
