I have great respect for Rich Hickey and I recently saw a cool talk about a financial startup using Clojure in production [1]. I have kept track of the language for some time but have never had the chance to use it in any serious capacity.
I think it’s a great language and a good community but I think some of the opposition to static types from Rich Hickey at the top is silly and I also find it genuinely harder to use languages which aren’t gaining wider traction after being around for over ten years.
