I tried Clojure a bit and, compared to CL, I find it bloated :S Installing a library takes ages, a lot of memory, and I can't do it from the REPL (so I must quit my development environment, and start it again). CL feels very snappy. I can even install a new library to a running web app. I know it's dangerous, but it works and it helped me already :)
- dustingetz 6y agoyes but clojure can get you a job
- vindarel 6y agoProbably more than CL yes, but thank you I create my own job.
- slifin 6y agoLibraries can be installed from the REPL in Clojure but it does require a dependency ahead of time: https://insideclojure.org/2018/05/04/add-lib/ https://insideclojure.org/2018/05/04/add-lib/ Some of Clojure's other runtimes perform a bit better, Babashka, CLJS, CLR, GraalVM for different trade offs if you need something like a scripting language or native images etc I'm sure CL is still quicker but there are options
- harperlee 6y agoNote that this needs to be required because add-lib is still alpha, but it is to be expected that once it is in the main deps functionality, it will come out of the box!
