I am a long time Clojure user (since 2012). I am still using it in my personal web projects with a lot enjoyment.
However, I wouldn't use it on any projects with more than maybe 3 team members for mainly three reasons:
- Very steep learning curve despite the seemly simple syntax.
- The community is shrinking with many high profile OSS projects being effectively abandoned, while most other languages' communities are growing.
- Clojure is just bringing too much freedom for most average developers.
If it's just me, I will have no hesitation and always pick Clojure as my main language.

- mbrodersen 6y agoThanks for being levelheaded in your assessment of Clojure. I am so tired of claims that language X is “better” based on a subjective selection of what “better” means. X might indeed be better for Y (that you care about) but not for Z (that I care about).
