As a shop, we're pretty new to Clojure, so initially we took the path of least resistance and deployed applications as uberjars. Now we're ready to grow up. :-) And basically I think that a dynamic language like Clojure needs a dynamic modular runtime in order to deliver maximum benefit. So while I was writing the prior email there were two categories of things in the back of my mind: 1) Things I really need to do to make our existing portfolio of applications more maintainable, modular, serviceable, etc. 2) Features that would make the difference between getting the job done and really fulfilling the potential of putting dynamic (or dynamically compiled) languages inside a dynamic runtime--both at development and at runtime. But experience tells me that the most effective implementation of #2 will require a community, in every sense of that word. So I wanted to see if this particular community finds the vision I attempted to articulate compelling and in any case to simply introduce myself since it seems there's a good chance I might be hanging out here awhile either way. :-) The detailed technical responses are appreciated. Unfortunately, my response will need to wait until tomorrow. Look forward to writing more...
