The worst aspect of Clojure is probably its dependency on the JVM - which also happens to be one of its best attributes as well.
A lot of the rough edges Clojure has can be traced back to trade-offs with running on a VM built for another language. The stacktraces of lazy sequences, the limitations of the protocol/type system, the lack of continuations or TCO, the slow startup time - pretty much everything I dislike about the language is due to some practical compromise with the JVM. This is one of the reasons I'm rather interested in the progress of analyzer and emitter projects in contrib. It's a step toward a bootstrapped language. - James On 27 December 2013 21:17, Kelker Ryan <theinter...@yandex.com> wrote: > In your opinion, what's the best, and what's the worst aspects of using > Clojure? > > -- > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "Clojure" group. > To post to this group, send email to clojure@googlegroups.com > Note that posts from new members are moderated - please be patient with > your first post. > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > clojure+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/clojure?hl=en > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups > "Clojure" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an > email to clojure+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out. > -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
