As a polyglot dev with experience in JS, Python, Scala, Clojure, Java to name a few, Clojure is hands down in another league compared to all the rest. My experience is with Clojure is my productivity is a magnitude higher next to others. The REPL and instant feedback alone propel develoment velocity and developer satisfaction so far out there there is just no contest.
- smabie 7y agoScala has a REPL and instant feedback. Clojure is fine and expressive for sure, I just find that static typing is superior to dynamic typing. If you can write perfect code, maybe it isn't, but I personally have a level of peace of mind with Scala that I never gotten with Clojure. I have programmed with both professionally, if that matters, btw. Of course, people are different, and theoretically speaking, Clojure should have as much power as Scala.
