Totally agree. We built a PaaS entirely in Clojure (https://circleci.com https://circleci.com) and its absolutely a grown-up language. I was unsure when we started (my cofounder has been using Clojure since 2008 and was adamant that this was a good idea), but Clojure makes it very easy to write big hardcore systems. Definitely one of our competitive advantages.
- mjt0229 14y agoI take this as an extremely positive indication - that someone can be skeptical and won over after having built a substantial system. Virtually every time I look at a shiny new technology, even ones I profess to like, I like it substantially less after I've been using it for some time and know where its faults lie.
- pbiggar 14y agoI've now been writing clojure for 18 months, and its definitely my least-hated language (python is a distant 2nd, coffeescript a distant 3rd).
