- dpritchett 15y agoHe is saying that he uses Clojure for personal projects because those are the projects where he doesn't have to recruit for or justify his choice of a niche language.
- mark_l_watson 15y agoThanks, that is exactly what I meant.
- JoeCortopassi 15y agoI'm guessing what he means is that, because Clojure can work so well with Java, he doesn't have to find people with Clojure experience to help on a Clojure project, he can just get Java people (of which there is an abundance).
- rbanffy 15y agoGetting customer approval is often the hardest part. Back in 2002 I started working with Python and Zope. It was easy to hire and train people in Python and Zope (you can pick up Python in an afternoon and work from there), but it was mindbogglingly hard to convince customers the data not being in a relational database was, actually, an advantage.
