This is related just to some degree, but IMHO part of the problem is also a landing page of a programming language and a concept of a minimum viable code snippet, how Fogus named it in his blogpost: http://blog.fogus.me/2012/08/23/minimum-viable-snippet/
I think that it was already discussed here (just couldn't find the topic), but if you compare http://clojure.org to something like http://python.org , there's still a long way before Clojure ;) I know this is just kind of a marketing stuff, but anyway :) Marek On Friday, April 18, 2014 10:03:29 AM UTC+2, kurofune wrote: > > Hello everyone! > > A Java programmer recently mentioned to me that if the Clojure community > wants to appeal to industry programmers that they would need to provide > example code comparisons, which clearly show why it is good to choose > Clojure over another language.
