Clojure Book Updated
clojure
When talking with not niche language programmers, I fail to articulate why I love #Clojure.
I haven’t found any other language that :
* has a real REPL
* is obsessed on stability
* leverages JVM (libs and tooling)
* runs in the browser (when you add script)
* uses immutable structure
* is low ceremony
* has a name that starts with Clo and ends with jure
It is not perfect (error messages I look at you), but close enough for me.

The #Clojure community has always been fascinating with its depth and thoughtfulness!

For those of you have been programming for more than a decade, what programming languages, ecosystems, technologies do you wish you had spent more time with?
For me, it would be: #C, #Perl, #OpenZFS, #TLA+, #ErlangOTP .
(I have spent some time with #commonlisp, #clojure, #java, #rakulang so these are not listed.)
