All of the feedback here was really helpful. As a followup, I wanted to let you know that my company is The Minerva Project, and we've been given $25 million to build a university. After a lot of back and forth about which technology we wanted to use on the product side, we ended up settling on Clojure and have been really happy with the decision! For more info, check out a high-level blog post on why we chose Clojure (even though you know all this stuff): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5363003. And feel free to find us for drinks and conversation at Clojure/West.
Look forward to seeing many of you there, David On Wednesday, January 9, 2013 11:49:42 AM UTC-8, Ben Mabey wrote: > > On 1/7/13 4:02 PM, David Jacobs wrote: > > > > What other tips do you have for convincing an employer that Clojure > > makes good business sense?
