I don't understand your comment. Of course people ask "why clojure", we're curious! > Why such an emphasis on what language stuff is written in? Why does it even matter?

The choice of language affects the project's future prospects, productivity, expressivity, maintainability, developer satisfaction, ease of finding developers, and a million other things.
