> The top 3 programming languages - JS, Python & Java - are all pretty uninspiring. And Clojure beautifully solves many pain points of Java and Javascript, and even C#. I haven't tried clj-python mentioned, but I hope someday soon, running Clojure code interoperable with Python in production becomes a reality. The hosted nature of the language is a brilliant idea. Clojure eliminates many small annoyances I hate in other languages - syntactical, semantical, and operational. I wish more programmers have given a heartfelt try to Clojure instead of whining that "Lisp is unreadable" and "the parentheses are awful".
