My thoughts after using Clojure for about a month

General News

Summary

The writer shares one month of experience using Clojure while rebuilding a personal website and learning the language through a side project. They praise Clojure for its cohesive design, pragmatic standard library, and ergonomic data structures, especially compared with Common Lisp and Scheme. They also note pain points such as added syntax complexity and the need to understand Java because Clojure runs on the JVM. Despite those drawbacks, the writer plans to keep using Clojure, explore babashka, and continue practicing with Project Euler.
