I only have one complaint about Clojure. It is very unfortunately named. Closures, the programming construct, and Clojure are too similar sounding.
If I could rename Clojure and GIMP I'd do so in a heartbeat.

- cletus 15y agoI actually like that both Clojure and Scala have names that otherwise don't mean something else. This unambiguity means you can more easily search for related pages and get more meaningful data out of Google Trends. Java will bring up some coffee references and the island in Indonesia. Python is, well, obvious. Just as two examples. I'd much rather everything not also be something else. GIMP is actually appropriate because AFAIC the program is completely crippled.

- jmcqk6 15y agoActually, there is a digital signage platform named 'Scala.' At my workplace, this can cause endless confusion among non-technical people.
