Compared to Haskell, Clojure, like Elixir and Erlang and Scheme, is a much smaller and simpler language and is easier to learn especially for people without a theoretical CS / math background. This is due to Haskell's ambitious and powerful static type system.
- mac01021 6y agoI'm not sure Clojure is _simpler_. I think Haskell may have more regularity and less variety in language constructs. I won't dispute that it is more alien to most programmers, though, and that laziness and monadic IO require a bunch of work to get used to.
