Six years of professional Clojure development
Clojure is the most enjoyable language I've ever used and I love the interactive development. I haven't written code in any other language that even comes close.Unfortunately I am too lazy and careless to use Clojure in any serious capacity though. I really need a Haskell or Rust compiler to remind me of all my silly mistakes. I can't be trusted to get to the same level of confidence through unit tests or linting or spec or malli.I actually tried using Clojure for a little web project (~3k LoC in both Haskell and Clojure) and any refactor that included maps that were passed around in many different routes (think authorization, logging, DB) ended up with me chasing down rather weird type errors. Basically the equivalent of can't call X on undefined in JS.In Haskell I spent at least the same amount of time trying to make various monads play nicely together. Think using IO, Maybe, Either, etc. in the same route handler without having your code be indented ever further to the right.But the difference is that once I've invested that time I'm very confident in my code, whereas in Clojure there's always this lingering sense of impending doom because surely there's some code path that I haven't thought about.
