"What other new shiny languages are there with any traction? Scala, and maybe F#?"
"new" and "traction" are pretty subjective. Sometimes (as in my case) the searcher just needs enough to sell themselves on the tool they have already chosen, i.e. just enough facts to fit my theory. FWIW, I like clojure.org the way it is. Without sounding like a complete muppet, I think of Clojure as a set of surgeon's tools, all clean and layed out on a shiny metal tray. Minimalist, simple, clean and massively effective once you have thought about it are the attributes I associate with Clojure and clojure.org fits that. On the other hand, I think of Scala as a bunch of "handy man" tools in a bag, slightly less coherent, messy and a bit more excitable and scala-lang.org re-enforces that. My three lines of Clojure are significantly more than the zero lines of scala I have written :) On 12 July 2011 09:25, Ken Wesson <kwess...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Tue, Jul 12, 2011 at 4:22 AM, Sergey Didenko > <sergey.dide...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > >> Public relations -- Project status and activity.
