There is a saying "if something sounds too good to be true, it probably is".
I wonder how many other languages did the author try to know that clojure is the reason for his success?
That being said, I really enjoy writing clojure and I absolutely love the interactive style of development. I hope more devs would try it so that it would get more traction in mainstream development.
- huahaiy 6y agoAuthor here. I started programming in 80s (yes I am old), so I probably know more languages than people who are younger than me. I also taught programming in universities in my previous life as a professor. Like I said in my article, I won't gave up my corporate research scientist job in my 40s to start a company if I had not known Clojure, knowing that I would be the only one writing code at the beginning.
