Hey everyone. I've been keeping up with developments in Clojure for a few months now and have a question for all you long-time static typers out there (I know you're there :)
I really like what I read about Clojure and LISP in general and can see the potential for great power and flexibility. I know the advantages/disadvantages of static vs dynamic languages but I can't help feeling like I'm losing something whenever I try Clojure. I am admittedly brainwashed after years of C, C++ and Java but I miss the warm fuzzies when I know the compiler has checked all the types for me and I don't have to worry about a whole class of run-time errors. I'm willing to give that up for the advantages Clojure gives me but I was wondering how others have dealt with the loss of these static warm fuzzies. I always feel a bit lost in Clojure, not knowing what types a function expects or what it will return. I suppose this goes away in time but any advice is appreciated.
