Well, the guy is a real startup veteran. I explained to him with some
help from a bunch of Paul Graham essays that we want to use Clojure just
because it is "practically" more suitable for the problem at

Hello,
Wow! Thanks a lot for the awesome advice.
Thank you Konrad, Daniel, Berlin, Jonah, Raoul and others for the
fantastic tips.
I have, in-fact been able to convince our advisor about using Clojure.
This won't have been possible without your help.

FWIW, two points- Paul Graham, among others, has talked about issues
like this. See for instance (about Python):

The argument about using new technologies in the startup context is
generally that smarter people want to work with better tools at higher

This kind of thing really burns me up. They trust you to implement the
thing, but they don't trust you enough to pick the tools to implement
the thing with. It's like telling your plumber what kind of pipes and
wrenches to use. You wouldn't dare, unless you were a plumber already.
