Clojure is a /g/ language.

Learn it. Embrace it. It's way better than rust or go. And it gives you the ability to look at the program in a different manner.

Clojure is not lisp
If you want lisp and jvm use kawa scheme

Clojure (pronounced like "closure") is a dialect of the Lisp programming language created by Rich Hickey. Clojure is a general-purpose programming language with an emphasis on functional programming. It runs on the Java Virtual Machine, Common Language Runtime, and JavaScript engines. Like other Lisps, Clojure treats code as data and has a macro system. The current development process is community-driven,overseen by Rich Hickey as its BDFL.
Clojure takes a modern stance on programming by encouraging immutability and immutable data structures. While its type system is entirely dynamic, recent efforts have also sought the implementation of gradual typing.Clojure encourages programmers to be explicit about managing state and identity. This focus on programming with immutable values and explicit progression-of-time constructs are intended to facilitate the development of more robust programs, particularly multithreaded ones.
Clojure is successfully used in industry by companies such as Walmart, Puppet Labs, and other large software companies.

Your argumentation is rock solid.
Clojure is a lisp dialect, no matter what you butthurt libre gnutards believe.
Why has everybody started bleating about Clojure these last few days? /g/ is so fickle.
>>51748676
>better than rust
Obviously
>or go
Nah
>>51748676
I prefer haskell.
>>51748723
Scheme is not a Lisp.

I came from go to clojure and I feel this is better.
>>51749478
Clojure is the new haskell anon
>>51750491
I love Haskell, but that means 20 years of nothingness before the community descends into madness?
>>51750639
No people are going to use haskell but for fun and shit. And clojure for production
Using clojure from 3 years in production agree that it has a great future
Hurr durr rich hickey

What are you, a girl?
so from what ive gathered
regular programming, as in C, Java, Python etc is like getting dressed by opening your clothing drawer, selecting what you want to put on, and then putting it on
functional programming is basically throwing your clothing chest at a clever angle at the wall of your landing so that the clothes fly out, arranged in the order you want along the stairs, and then skidding down the flight of stairs hoping youre dressed by the end

Yes kawai desu

Kek u dumb as fak

No, functional programming is like writing down what you want to wear on a piece of paper, then walking out the door. Your clothes magically appear on you.
>VM meme

Neck yourself

Memory is now pretty cheap anon.
VM is less of a hassle.

Don't forget that the JVM runs everywhere. As long as you use relative (or configurable by text file) paths for files, properly written JVM programs will work unmodified on Windows, Linux, various Unixen, and even Haiku OS (they have an OpenJDK port), as well as across CPU architectures.
>>51751954
Functional programming is like making a door in your house called "dressMe". You walk through the door naked and come out of the other end fully clothed.
>>51753186
I'm still naked
>>51753177
Yeah and oracle is working it's ass off to make jvm even faster and stable as fuck
