This is an interesting discussion. Rich Hickey and Steve Yegge recently weighed in on the Seajure discussion group (and later discussed on HN). Yegge basically takes Laszlo's position (clojure needs to start saying yes), while Hickey takes Nick's position.

Hickey has done a brilliant job of building a very elegant functional language. But should we dismiss Yegge's point altogether? He's not the only one making it. Technomancy has complained that... *> Many patches etc run afoul of that because they don't meet that standard.* *The problem is not that they aren't applied, it's that they are ignored without discussion of their faults* Now, I don't want to reduce the conversation to gossip. But what IS the right balance between proper idiomatic code, and tools and training wheels for broader acceptance?
