As a tech lead or architect you should be fired for even suggesting to use Clojure as an enterprise greenfield. Industry and academia is moving towards advanced type systems. Nobody in industry seriously considers Clojure for enterprise systems. On Jul 8, 12:43 pm, Colin Yates

That's not very constructive at all. I think clojure would work fine (or better) for enterprise applications. The one thing that could pull it down is maintainability, as the maintainers must know clojure. There was recently a thread about working on large programs in clojure. It might contain

I agree not very constructive. Re your comment, Backtype was just acquired by Twitter and they have built a pretty decent system using clojure. I saw another job ad not long ago for a clojure position at a wall street bank. I think can't get more enterprise grade than that. So maybe you want to

Hi Jonathon, I did see that thread, but most of the (excellent and useful) advice was around programming practices/idiomatic Clojure if I remember correctly. I am for tool recommendations as well I guess. I will re-read that thread though - thanks for the link. Col P.S. Is there a place

We have a complex messaging app in prod since Jan. 2009. It's 24x7 and fully redundant. The high level functions are all in Clojure and we are moving away from Java low level code written in the early days. I have been writing complex software for 30 years now. I found a way to decide what tools
