This discussion, although interesting, is ridiculous. I've been doing this for nearly 40 years and if I'd listened to all the people who worried that new languages were to hard for noobs, I'd still be writing Fortran or Cobal. C was hard when it first came out - for most of the same reasons people are using with Clojure. Clojure is a great language now and can only get better because it mixes the greatest language ever invented (Lisp) with the best library available. People have complained for years about the limitations of Lisp, but it's still with us (whatever happened to PL1?) All Lisp has ever needed was a universal library. Let the faint of heart turn away - they will come back. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
