I think there could be room for a better Clojure than Clojure, so to speak
- danuker 4y agoBased on my analysis of Rosetta Code samples, Clojure is the most popular language with its compactness. https://danuker.go.ro/programming-languages.html#non-math-map https://danuker.go.ro/programming-languages.html#non-math-ma... Also, it has a low frequency of bugfix commits (which may or may not be related to bugs also). (but it might be the dev experience, I have not adjusted for it). https://danuker.go.ro/frequency-of-bugfix-commits.html https://danuker.go.ro/frequency-of-bugfix-commits.html In addition, the JVM gives it great performance, and it has actual CPU multithreading (while Python or other scripting languages have a GIL). This makes it relevant in today's environment where Moore's law continues through number of cores. Therefore I don't think Clojure will die too soon.
