(Not the person you responded to.) My direct interactions with the Clojure community have been very pleasant and helpful, and I have zero complaints there. But when searching around for common questions related to Clojure, I often run into answers along the lines of "Clojure doesn't have X because our language is so superior we don't need it", which does sound cultish. For example, I was looking for GraphQL ClojureScript libs a few days ago, and found a thread where the first answers were essentially: - "If you can’t find a framework that does it, chances are it’s so easy to do in Clojure/ClojureScript that nobody bothers to put an abstraction there" - "Datomic has been doing what GraphQL offers plus much more since like 2013" Both answers are a bit cultish. The first suggests a lack of enlightenment. The second suggests that salvation can be found by embracing the cult even further and locking yourself into a proprietary database invented by Clojure's author and used almost exclusively by Clojurists. (Edit: This thread was from 2017. Such answers may have become more rare since then.)
