Don't bother, I have the feeling randmeerkat will argue that if the team is so big, the language must be not expressive!

  I have no gripe with Clojure, I take issue with someone claiming that Amazon, Apple, and Netflix have systems that operate at scale because of it. Clojure is a fine niche language, but it’s not the secret sauce to big tech web scale.

    Exactly. Comment from 11 months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22526189 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22526189 > The only project at Amazon that uses Clojure is one legacy project in maintenance mode.

    I was not claiming that, just that also big companies use it. It may not be used for the core of the business but I'm convinced the services that are build with Clojure are reliable, because the language is solid.
