Having built a ton of software with agents using Clojure that's huge news to me. Seems like you've already made up your mind though, so it's clear that you don't care to learn from people with actual experience or have a rational discussion on the subject. You do you.

I probably haven't expressed myself well. Your experience with Clojure is exactly the reason you haven't experienced what I'm talking about.

If you haven't used Haskell, I'd encourage you try to adding a small feature to an application written in it, such as Pandoc. Tell the agent what you want, then try to understand what it did.

Personally I love Haskell, but I think its over with in the age of agents. People will not put the work in to learn it because telling the agent it to do it is so tempting, but you've really got to struggle with it quite a lot to get over the initial hump.
