- filoeleven 5y agoPerhaps I’m wrong, but my understanding is that it has a reputation for being able to build systems with significantly fewer LOC than most languages, without delving into APL-levels of obscurity. My attempt at deadpan humor doesn’t work if that isn’t true, and I’m not qualified to make the argument since I’ve not used it professionally yet. I can say that picking up Clojure for fun has both reawakened my joy in programming and greatly informed how I write code in other languages. That tends to inspire prose.
