> I would very much like to read a comparison of CL and Clojure from the author at some point. As it seems he is offering a fair comparison. I suspect the authors main problem with Clojure is, that it is a mostly functional language which heavily emphasizes doing things in the functional way and discouraging imperative programming whereas CL is more like a true multiparadigm language. I used to think that multiparadi…
> I suspect the authors main problem with Clojure That's not a very nice thing to do, suspecting people without any kind of evidence. Not to mention the fact that there is a `set!` form in Clojure, which makes it entirely possible to write very imperative code (and thread-local semantics don't matter in single-threaded programs). Anyway, "problems with Clojure" can be very different for different people. I like Cloju…
Sure. For a solution to your particular problem, maybe ClojureScript will bring some improvement for CLI use, since Nodejs tends to start faster than a whole JVM.
