   I say Clojure, because I would be hard pressed to think of a platform better than the JVM. Garbage collection, speed, deployment are all top notch in java-land. Postgres support will probably be easier w/ Clojure, because everything is wri

   cemerick, I've hacked both Ruby & Clojure, so I can comment on the way Ruby handles stings. Ruby has a concept of a 'string', as opposed to a "string". 'This is strict input, no escapes' "This is input with escapes" I think that the su

    As an avid Clojurian, I can recommend taking the plunge. The seq abstraction goes a long way to reducing library sizes. This is going to be as big a deal as the STM. My $.02

    It could be cleaned up some, but due to all the awt interaction, it needs to be that way.

    the only catch is that hardening has a tendency to make materials brittle. Steel is good because it bends.

    This should be required reading for anyone trying to push a new language in a Java/C# shop. Don't fight the platform, instead, leverage it to your advantage.
