I've spent a number of years looking for a functional programming language suitable for the kind of work I do. evaluating Clojure, Haskell, Erlang, Scala, F#, Mozart, ML, Clean, Racket, and probably some others I'm not thinking about right now. For me, once Clojure hit 1.0 status, it was clearly the best choice for my purposes. Scala is probably my second choice, but I think there's a chance it would be my first if I were working on a large team -- I have an unfounded opinion that static typing can be especially useful for ensuring that components produced by different individuals get properly linked up. But as a solo developer, I feel great about my decision to use Clojure.
So to answer your question, yes, a lot of us have spent time evaluating many languages and agonizing over which is the best one for our purposes. Try the languages that interest you, and decide for yourself. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
