alt Hacker NewsI have been writing Clojure since 2017. Unlike every other language that helps you achieve a task, Clojure helped me think.
Clojure for me is a rich vocabulary to talk interact with data. When Jank becomes stable, Clojure will be unstoppable.

I’ve been writing ClojureScript now for around a decade. I tried to get into Clojure many times, but as someone with no Java experience, the JVM really makes it unbearable. I ended up trying Elixir though and absolutely loved it.
Both Clojure and Elixir really changed the way I think about programming. They’ve both basically ruined me as far as other languages go. Structural editing + repo driven development in Clojure, BEAM + pattern matching in elixir.
But there is something just infinitely more fun about writing Clojure code, and insanely satisfying. I’m eagerly awaiting the day that jank takes off and I can start building native mobile apps in Clojure (and who knows, maybe some web backend tech stack will spring up around it!)
