State of Clojure 2020
Clojure is a decent language. I&#x27;ve worked with it a good deal in work. But I would take any functional language with types over it. Some thoughts:<p>- its dynamic-ness makes it not suited to large projects IMO.<p>- The currently-accepted attempt at a non-type-system-type-system &#x27;spec&#x27; is not well thought out.<p>- Biggest wins I think are immutability by default, homoiconicity, and &quot;simplicity&quot;<p>- The repl is fine but can be a crutch -- see startup time<p>- Clojure still hasn&#x27;t really found a niche, and I&#x27;m not sure I would ever reach for it first unless I was integrating with other clojure projects.
