The Clojure, and ClojureScript, hype train is effective. I&#x27;ve been interested in learning Clojure for several years. Every other week, or so, I&#x27;ll see a tweet or blog post that makes me want to drop JavaScript and move over to ClojureScript. The community looks like a great one to be part of, from an outsider&#x27;s perspective. With that said, I&#x27;ve never been able to break beyond that learning curve, or have that &quot;ah hah!&quot; moment. I&#x27;ve been able to learn a lot of different languages over the years, and I so want Clojure to be one of them but it just hasn&#x27;t happened for me, yet. This blog post puts my issue into words very well, it feels like I&#x27;m trying to program in mandarin and I struggle to be efficient at what seem like the most basic of tasks. A script that I could knock out in 20 minutes, with C# or JavaScript, will take me hours or days in Clojure because of the lack of muscle memory or something. My excitement always fades back into thoughts of &quot;meh is it really worth the effort&quot;, at which point I usually just revert back to JS. :(
