That's a good read, Sean. I'm a dedicated departmental programmer, and to be effective in my position, I need to be quick and nimble. For some of the problems I'm solving, my tools are causing an unsupportable amount of drag. Clojure would be a brilliant match. But because I'm a one-person team, the truck number makes it so risky to choose an unconventional technology.
Sharing Clojure with other developers is an attempt to balance those forces. I hesitated for a long time, but I finally decided it didn't hurt to try. At this point, I'm not thinking of using Clojure for all of my coding, but only a few particular cases. Thoughts?
