By "experience of Clojure", I meant experience of Clojure.

By "experience of Clojure", I meant experience of Clojure.
- gmfawcett 6y ago"By 'X', I meant X" doesn't help to explain what you mean. Can you clarify?
- Myrmornis 6y agoThe first X was in quotes, so it was a purely lexical reference to the words themselves, without referring to any conventional meaning that those words might have. The second X was unquoted and so by that I meant to convey the usual meaning in English. Another way of saying it would have been: erm right but experience of Javascript is not experience of Clojure, regardless of any influence Clojure may have had on modern Javascript.
- gmfawcett 6y agoOK. But you didn't ask him to describe his Clojure experience, you just asked whether he was speaking from Clojure experience -- and he said that yes, he was. Asked and answered?
- Myrmornis 6y agoNo, on the contrary, I understood his/her reply to be saying that he/she had not used Clojure, but that its influence on the Javascript ecosystem was such that a user of modern Javascript could consider themselves to have "experience of Clojure" in a sense. We don't have to carry on debating it, but have another read of the reply in question -- I think you'll agree that it was in fact saying that they did not have any experience of Clojure; only of Clojure-influenced Javascript.
