   I don’t know about that; clojure was specifically created with persistent data structures in mind, and it’s definitely as much a lisp as racket is

   Could you explain why you say that it was a mistake to separate the editor frontend from the backend?

   Common Lisp lets you do that, but Clojure doesn't - I don't know about Ruby, but I expect not. That said, you have the wrong mental model. You don't run the whole program and set breakpoints. Instead you directly interact wit

   If it supports Lua you could always use Fennel, which looks close enough

   It really comes down to how often you have to use it with a mask on these days.

    There’s a lot of that kind of thing in JS, isn’t there? :(

    There’s an implicit “arguments” function argument through which you can access the extra parameters. It’s JSs way of function overloading

    AFAIK it supports SVG rendering. Is that not enough or what did you have in mind?

    There are plenty of lisps that offer these benefits that aren’t image based, clojure for example or emacs lisp

    You can’t even go into a namespace and change functions there

    How are the two not exactly the same in that respect?

    It really isn’t and I suggest you give clojure an honest try to see why. It’s really hard to explain.

    You imply that a political anti corruption campaign is equivalent to “calling your boss a dumbass”?

    If you're using pure functions then you'd likely profit from clojure's data structures, as they're much cheaper to copy and modify than javascript's native structures. Of course you could use something like Immutabl

    Yeah because that totally happens in China all the time..

    Then I don’t understand why you’d be outright opposed to running a production system with it. It’s not as shallow as just not liking the syntax, is it?

    I would love to hear more! Did you write the datalog layer or is there one somewhere? Is there any code available I could see?

    There’s a huge difference between a minimal lisp interpreter you may have written in university and something industrial strength like Common Lisp or Clojure
