Ask HN: choosing your software stack.
Assuming you and your buddies are serious about a web start up, you are the CTO type and you feel you are proficient in Lisp and a host of other languages. Assume the rest of the gang knows Java. Do you insis on Lisp, or go along with the majority? Would you worry about future hires?
- Rantenki 16y agoGo java, write your stuff in Clojure, document the jars well :) Of course, as CTO, you probably won't have a lot of time to write code, so JAVA is still the right choice, and you have to write less (developer) docs.
- ryanto 16y agopick the language that will get results faster. that sounds like java. at this point, future hires do not matter. do not worry about them.
