I agree it isn't a political party, but it isn't a social club either. It's a technical forum. Technical soundness, rather than social expansion, should, imho, be the utmost concern. :-) I empathize with your point regarding how hard it is to deal with Java. Unfortunately, it is. But I believe it has to be done. Python is no better in that regard; you still need to understand Unix/C otherwise you'd be too limited and lost too soon. The other issues you cited are tangential to the programming language itself, they are issues of IDE, build system, documentation, etc etc. They do not affect my original post argument for the language core to be conservative and technically sound, Python's is. :-) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
