I agree. I'm finding Clojure to be a very productive, concise way to solve problems in the Model of a large MVC web application originally built with other JVM-based technologies. We're finding a massive compression of code by switching core processing to Clojure - and as a nice side effect, we're taking the lessons of Clojure back to our other language(s) and finding massive simplifications there which were not obvious before. Just today we started on the process of analyzing Power MTA log files to deal with email bounces - an almost trivial process in Clojure, compared to other languages, with HOF and lazy sequences available to us. To me, Clojure is a very general purpose language. That said, I don't expect it to gain mainstream traction like Java (and I think that would be a bit of a disaster, to be honest) but I think it will gain a strong, productive community that will be large enough to be healthy and self-sufficient, and will compare favorably with other "popular" non-Java languages on the JVM. -- Sean A Corfield -- (904) 302-SEAN An Architect's View -- http://corfield.org/ World Singles, LLC. -- http://worldsingles.com/ Railo Technologies, Inc. -- http://www.getrailo.com/ "Perfection is the enemy of the good." -- Gustave Flaubert, French realist novelist (1821-1880) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
