The "easy" we're talking about here is how much users need to learn before they can be minimally productive (e.g., have a REPL they can evaluate stuff at, at which point you can already do useful things in Clojure, especially from a learning-programming perspective where flashy UIs and complicated DB/file work is initially secondary to such concerns as arithmetic, algorithms and data structures, flow control and that -- and using Clojure would teach good, functional habits like prefer immutable stuff and prefer HOFs to loops and clean loops that don't bash random mutable state in random ways to messy loops that have all kinds of side effects.) How much memory etc. the process consumes when it's running is rather secondary to all that. -- Protege: What is this seething mass of parentheses?! Master: Your father's Lisp REPL. This is the language of a true hacker. Not as clumsy or random as C++; a language for a more civilized age. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
