I meant Clojars in the last sentence.

It's a good language but a language is nothing without a healthy community backing it up. No one cares about the language outside of lisp/fp nerds. The ecosystem sucks balls because no one writes or updates documentation. Tons of neat stuff like spec and practical immutable/lazy data structures and im hoping those ideas trickle down to other languages that people actually use.

>>878047 (OP)

it's tied to fucking JRE.

JRE-based languages have little reasons to be used outside of Android.

and if you want Android, better to choose something which will get you better start-up performance and smaller library footprint. (that is Kotlin)

and if you only need it for education purposes, then community doesn't matter.

<What is Scala

You know java is used is a shit ton of situations other than android right?

>>878141

This. I thought Java was used on a variety of systems beyond Android. In fact, portability to all kinds of systems is one of the reasons I've chosen Clojure. Should I change my thoughts on this?

>>878181

Just be careful not to write code that is dependent on non portable libraries. It is easy to lose the benefit.

>>878187

Ok thank you.

I just wanted to post that this language has the most terrible logo I have ever seen except maybe the original clisp alien

>>878181

if you want code to be portable to all kinds of systems why not learn transpiling such as haxe?

<java

>"write once, run on anything"

<haxe transpiling

>"write once, compile to everything"

transpiling is the future.

>>878294

Transpiling causes a shitty impedance miss match. The end result won't be nearly as efficient.
