Interesting. I did two years of Clojure after a decade plus of Java and C#. It never particularly clicked for me. This was developing misc LOB apps with a bunch of misc business logic. Maybe the wrong domain for a lisp to shine. Boilerplate wasn't much of an issue in that domain, and without type safety I constantly felt like I was driving blindfolded. Given that feeling, I felt the density and power of Clojure was actually a disadvantage relative to, say, Python. The clencher was after rewriting a large app in F# and having two working versions for a while, I decided to move to async calls. In F# I was able to change a few core functions and then follow the red squiggly lines, wrapping logic into async and asyncSeq monads until everything compiled again. And after a day of doing so, everything worked the first time. With Clojure I couldn't even find the courage to begin something like that. It would have to be a complete rewrite. I never touched Clojure again. Maybe lisp is different.
