I haven't written Clojure in a while.

but I think clojure is well suited for the age of llm's. token efficient .everything is data even the code is data is easy to deal with verification. pure functions etc.

however one will still need to know how to write / read clojure. when the industry is trending towards not reading code e.g the shit dhh has been parroting lately about not reading code and likewise many people in the industry.

Right, hence my pitch is that people should actually learn Clojure. You still need to understand what the code is doing, but there's a much bigger case for using a high level language that's concise and expressive with LLMs around.
