I like Clojure the language but what I found frustrating was that even more than in other ecosystems a package would get momentum, become popular, and then mysteriously die suddenly without any real replacement. A classic example was the statistics package Incanter -- it had the potential to become a new version of Xlispstat for the 21st century and then it just died.
- synthc 4y agoYeah it is too bad Incanter stalled, it could have been an great alternative to Python's data science stack (pandas/numpy/matplotlib) if it had gotten traction at the right time. It lacks some polish and has some wierd conventions relative to modern Clojure, but I still use it occasionally.
