I believe that the simplicity of Clojure's syntax in combination with
its clean functional nature and prefix notation makes it ideal as a

and perhaps especially kids.
Is there anything written about this?
Arguments ... experiences ... perhaps even research ...?
For kids and student maybe but for anyone setting out to earn a living
from programming Clojure would be a bad choice right now as the job
market is overwhelmingly OOP-dominated and once you grok Clojure OOP can
become intolerable. Better to get a foundation in Javascript,
Python/Ruby and Java first then add Clojure later. According to
Indeed.co.uk there are only 21 jobs in the UK with Clojure in the title.
