Oh man, how is everyone _not_ running around screaming about this right now?
It seems to me that the Clojure space suffers from an unusual malady: it's busy sitting here quietly advancing half of applied computer science, and no one seems to notice the full extent of its import. Man, I'm sometimes forced to just stop for a moment and sit in awe at how lucky I've been to see this stuff develop and to get to use it. Clojure was huge. And before we're close to digesting its potential, there's protocols. And Clojurescript. Then Datomic. Reducers. Now this. And it's not about everything being necessarily _novel_, though there is often novelty. For me it's largely about the cohesiveness of the design and the consistency of the overarching vision. Everything _fits_. I feel like I'm using tools and ideas that weren't just developed with care, or cleverness, or experience, but all of those things in a kind of harmony that's vanishingly rare to find in any field. I honestly feel like I'm witnessing history being made. Thank you Rich Hickey, and everyone else in this community for making my work every day so enjoyable. - Peter Taoussanis -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
