I really think Clojure should be recognised as boring tech more than it is. It seems to have drifted out of public discourse in the last couple of years, which is a shame because it's a rock solid, simple, predictable language that would make an excellent choice for many use cases.
It's just a shame that the syntax will forever be a barrier to widespread adoption.
- samatman 3y agoI don't think the syntax is the main consideration with Clojure. It's an opinionated language: dynamic, with immutable data structures, hosted on the JVM. I like it quite a bit, personally, and it's been adopted in places where it makes sense. But many-to-most projects are better off picking another runtime, and the syntax has little to do with why.
- mh- 3y agoIMO: Part of boring tech is that it's easy to learn and therefore, usually, easy to hire for. Clojure ticks neither of those boxes, unfortunately.
