- adityaathalye 1y agoI agree, given that (JVM) Clojure is literally just a Java Library. From a programmer's point of view I don't want to have to write all the machinery that makes for a "full" solution (that is also correct and performant enough)... In fact I can't! Which is why I hope more programming languages make that machinery available, because the "X/Y" problem (Type / Method) manifests itself (pretty easily) in every single web app out there (and likely most software ever written).
