Me too. I was bored with 2 decades of C/C++/Java and didn’t like programming any more. Dabbled with Ruby, Python, Groovy and enjoyed them. Discovered Scheme, SICP, and Clojure and never looked back. Beat my head against not having my old problem solving paradigms, but it was fascinating rewiring my brain. It finally clicked and coding has been a joy ever since. The Clojure REPL rocks.
