Glad to see Clojure continuing to improve. Racket borrows a lot from Clojure^1,2,3 so its success fuels ours as well. With the other post on here about Java 18 including Pattern Matching, I'm glad that good ideas continue to cross pollinate between different languages. Programming is still a young field compared to other professions, and there is still a lot of good things left to discover!

- agumonkey 5y agoInteresting to see racket and clojure cross pollinating. I wonder what other non mainstream language is part of this game (julia, factor, ..)
- kbuchanan 5y agoIt doesn't just keep on improving, but stays backwards compatible with every new release!
- zitterbewegung 5y agoA lot of clojure has been borrowing from main stream programming languages that lisp users don’t think of using at all which is great.
- bjoli 5y agoThose are third party packages, of which only the threading package is popular.
- Decabytes 5y agoYes but people are still interested in it. For example in the Rhombus Proposal (Formerly Racket2) there is a section on generic collections, with a link to a blog post comparing Racket and Clojure from 2010. 1. https://github.com/racket/rhombus-prototype/blob/master/resources/state-of-rhombus.md https://github.com/racket/rhombus-prototype/blob/master/reso... 2. http://programming-puzzler.blogspot.com/2010/08/racket-vs-clojure.html?m=1 http://programming-puzzler.blogspot.com/2010/08/racket-vs-cl...
