That's the biggest reason, but there are also corporate ones. My last job was centered around SharePoint. We desperately needed every advantage we could get our hands on to be more effective. Most of the developers were convinced that C# is the best programming language ever, but the boss was amenable to better options. I left before the idea ever even got to the drawing board, but I still think that clojure.net would make sharepoint quite a bit less horrible. Be that as it may: if you work in a MS-centric company, shifting to JVM clojure is iffy at best. OTOH, convincing people who've never used anything except C# that there are alternatives worth considering is quite an uphill battle. At least one friend over the years has gotten fed up at my suggestions and sarcastically suggested doing everything in Prolog. -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
