Excellent breakdown.
This is an important point about Clojure - the culture seems to be leaning towards multiple small libraries, rather than whole frameworks or packages.
Which is actually kind of neat, since a properly written Clojure library is much more composeable than libraries in most other languages.
- futuremint 16y agoIsn't this sort of the same philosophy as the way Lisps are built? It seems like having proper namespacing and a overall functional style lend themselves to smaller, more self-contained libraries. Similarly there isn't as much of a need to have a monolithic stack like Ruby has, because Ruby's style tends to step on other's work a bit leading to preferring a all-in-one style for reliability.
