I think I know and love more about clojure than any language I actually use.
I rewatch hickey talks anytime Im a little stuck on a big problem/idea and there's almost always another "ah ha" moment for me.
If the places i work were already on the JVM, i would have switched a decade ago, but I've been in .net world my whole career.
- genxy 6mo agoHave you thought about moving to a Clojure shop?
- iLemming 6mo agoYou don't need team's approval of your choices for using a tool, a technique, an idea. A tool remains useful even if nobody else but only you understand its practicality. There are days when I deal with projects where some don't even know about Clojure's existence, but I still may use babashka to understand the data flow. Having a Clojure REPL around is immensely handy, slashing through data that flows down the APIs is the best - JSON is so lame and annoying to deal with - even LLMs often can't get the jq filter syntax right, or when they do, it looks terrifyingly cryptic and confusing. Or sometimes I'd fire up an nbb REPL with Playwright - just to reproduce some issue without having to manually click through things.
