Don't know if it counts as "large", but I'm running a 20,000+ LOC project for a 100%-Clojure web app at www.wusoup.com.
My 2c: I'm not an experienced developer by any stretch of the imagination; this is something I'm working on completely alone, and yet I've so far found the whole thing incredibly manageable. I'd attribute that largely to Clojure. Then again, I only noticed this thread because of its relation to the "unknown constant tag" one ;p I'd like to open-source the whole app at some stage (or at least some large parts of it), but I'm also always happy to answer any questions from the perspective of someone using exclusively Clojure for a small (but hopefully growing) "production" application. One of the things I've most enjoyed about Clojure (and it being functional) is the ease with which I can bash on a function in the REPL during development: testing it with all sorts of weird/nil input, making sure that it'll be well behaved even if something else along the way gets confused. The modularity I can get with "functional" functions is reassuring for me as a lone developer since once I've written something and it's gone through that "bashing" stage- I'm normally pretty confident that it's more or less "right". I very rarely end up needing to come back to fix problems related to unexpected input, etc. Most of the time when I need to "fix" a function it's because I simply had the wrong idea about what it actually needed to do, rather than because it was doing it wrong. If that makes any sense. For a large project I think you probably need to be more disciplined with something like Clojure than, say, Java. But that's the whole "with great power" thing again: I think you get something valuable in return for being asked to exercise some discipline. Can't really comment on how easily Clojure works for large groups of developers as such. The flexibility thing might start losing it's charm when you have 10 different coding styles competing with one another under time constraints, etc. (where discipline starts to go out the window in favour of "getting stuff done"). - Peter Taoussanis -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
