I use Clojure, which benefits from these consistent JVM improvements; things like pattern matching have been accessible to me for years already, but I like that Java slowly trails along as it helps keep me vested in the Java ecosystem.
- cutler 4y agoBy contrast I despair of Clojure ever keeping pace with Java updates. Clojure seems to be a functional language which isn't even implemented using the host's functional features which were introduced 9 years ago.
- oulu2006 4y agoI guess that only matters if we're missing out on performance improvements by not using native language features; be cool to see if anyone has done any profiling/investigation on that. Clojure the language isn't missing anything I need.
