Why Clojure? (2010)
I&#x27;ve used Clojure in a few cases and I totally adore the simplicity of its Lisp syntax as opposed to the baroquesque abomination that is Scala. However, lack of strong typing is sorely felt. I &#x27;ve done a little playground-style OCaml coding and the feeling you get with OCaml is that once your program compiles, it most likely also runs correctly. Is a Lisp language with strong typing for the Java ecosystem too much to ask? Apparently it is or else we would have had it by now.
