This has been the main reason I haven't completely abandoned Python and ruby for such tasks. I think the original question was phrased perfectly -- "wondering if the time is right". For me, I'd say "not quite yet". I'm still holding out for Clojure-in-clojure targeting a unix-embracing, fast-starting host platform like golang or parrot. --Chouser http://joyofclojure.com -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
