Clojure is wholly inadequate to meeting challenges of the industry today. Not just because it's dynamically typed (which means tooling for it is close to nonexistent and it has terrible performance), but also because its ecosystem is a ghost town.
It takes more than just a language to create a productive development environment in 2020, especially one which is so flawed by designed to the point of not even being statically typed.
- wellpast 6y agoYour Google skills must be short. Clojure community is on fire with open-source and it’s IDE and build support is copious and stellar. Also it’s not statically typed on purpose; the reasons for this have been described & analyzed at length. I’d recommend you get out more.

- dunefox 6y agoYeah, just like Common Lisp and Julia have terrible performance. Extremely slow, can't do anything with them.

- iLemming 6y ago> Clojure is wholly inadequate to meeting challenges of the industry today Interesting point. Sadly, it seems engineers at Apple, Cisco, Walmart, NASA, CircleCI, Pandora, Grammarly, Funding Circle, Nubank and hundreds of other companies are amateurs who don't know jack-shit about challenges in the industry and keep building their sand-castles using their incredibly flawed tools. I'm sure, these losers would soon vanish from the radar and we would never hear about them. Just give it a few years.
