Is Clojure the "New Lisp"?

• krschultz 18y ago
  I sure hope so More acceptance of functional programming is always a good thing. I love coding for in Lisp but I haven't really made the leap to production code since I have to support 4 platforms with all code I write for work (Windows, Mac OSX, Linux on x86, Linux on ARM), and deploying Lisp code across all those platforms auto-magically reliably SUCKS. We write all our stuff on the JVM so this would be easy to bolt on and expose to new people.

  Shrug - call me a critic, but this is another "Why I think Clojure will be good" article, rather than one with some (new) substance. I'd like to see some more articles on Clojure in actual practice. (p.s. It's because it's built on the JVM).
