Clojure is the only dynamic language I’ve ever loved. It is in its own ballpark, really, though maybe Erlang or Elixir would win me over if I spent enough time with them.
- ilikehurdles 4y agoI’ve actually been spending the last year with elixir professionally. I’m embracing some of it… I would love to see its pattern matching and annotations come over to clojure, and would make my clojure code even more “correct.” I don’t super fully “get” all of its message passing plumbing, and I don’t like the quality of its library ecosystem. But clojure’s REPL, babashka, and clojure.spec are sorely missed.
