But nothing forces you to write functional code either. I’ve seen a whooole lot of php and JS, and most of it has been pretty terrible lol. Of course you can write terrible code in any language, but I think the ease of starting with JS/php combined with the lack of built-in opinions makes it easy to build huge piles of spaghetti. Though these days fresh typescript codebases are usually pretty decent. I love typescript and it’s really nice to work with a well-typed, modern project with proper schema validation and such. Def miss that in clojure. Also I wouldn’t really compare JS or pythons REPL to clojure’s. Python’s is useful, but I pretty much live inside the clojure repl
