I assume you're referring to my comment, since I mentioned both Haskell and Rust.
_I_ am not capable of writing a robust, large scale application in a dynamic language. I do not have the discipline to second guess everything I do. I will at some point forget to write certain tests. Or test only the happy path. Or make a silly typo. Maybe I'll rename a keyword and in one place not notice that I'm renaming a keyword that will come from a completely different map. Or I'll forgot to namespace keywords and wonder where they come from.
I have no doubt that there are people who can write rock solid stuff in C, or Bash or Dash.
I can't. Therefore, yes, its dynamic nature is what leads me to rule out Clojure. I want to be lazy and focus on the logic, the algorithms and data structures. I do not want to be my own compiler because I'm not good at that.
