" I have dozen colleagues that can't foster clojure because they want a language with tools that fits every day."
Can you explain this statement? I'm not sure I understand. I haven't touched any language but Clojure for "every day work" in months (years?). I can write a game in Clojure, I can write swing/javafx apps if I want, I can write webapps, I can write distributed systems, I can write high performance code as well as "hack it out fast" code. So far in my career as a software developer, I've learned, C, C++, QBasic, VB, Delphi, Python, C#, Python, and Erlang. I left every single one of those languages because at one point or another they restricted what I could do with them. There came a day where I said "wow...if I could just do X this would be so much simpler". That day hasn't come yet for me with Clojure. Even after 4 years. I'm not sure what these people want?
