I'm quite the opposite. I love Clojure, just because it is "boring". Maybe not "boring" as in well-known, but "boring" as in the core language and it's runtime doesn't change and is stable, like really stable. I've upgraded projects using "ancient" Clojure versions (released +5 years ago) and not having to almost do any changes, as both the language, the runtime and most libraries are so stable over time. It simply just works. If people want to introduce breaking changes, they tend to prefer to create entirely new libraries instead.
- int_19h 4y agoI'm kinda amazed that 5 years ago is considered "ancient" these days, and stability over such a short time interval is considered remarkable.
