I've said it before and I'll say it again, the industry can rip Clojure from my cold, dead hands. It's unfortunate that people in this thread seem to down on the language, but the only possible way I would stop using it is if I literally cannot earn income with it.
Some superstitious people would say, don't tempt fate by saying that out loud!
It is by far the most pleasant language I've ever used, I feel at home writing it, and it improves the quality of my work.
Very familiar. Be sure to diversify. (Ex Smalltalker here.)
- jakebasile 8y agoGood thing I'm not the least bit superstitious! And yeah, like I said elsewhere I know my way around Python quite well and it's impossible to write a lot of Clojure and not know Java too. If both of those end up dying along with Clojure down the line then I'll be in a bad spot. :)
- euccastro 8y agoNah, you'll be fine.
- SlightRespect 8y agoYeah, it's bad luck to be superstitious
