Yea, I've been using Clojure for years now as my default language of choice. That was after several years of trying out various different "newfangled" languages like Scala, Golang, Haskell (ok, Haskell isn't very new), etc. I eventually landed on Clojure and it just clicked.
I would like to pick up a Lisp that's not tied to the JVM for some things... perhaps I'll learn Common Lisp this year.
- Random_ernest 7y agoWhat are your arguments against the JVM if I might ask?
- jcadam 7y agoI don't hate the JVM, but there are certain applications where I'd like to have something that compiles to native code. And of course, the fact that the current steward of Java and the JVM is Oracle makes me a bit uneasy.
- simongray 7y agoWhat about compiling to native executables using GraalVM? Doesn't remove Oracle from the equation, of course.
- nbardy 7y agoYou can also run CloureScript on node.
