I feel this in my newcomer bones. Every time someone badass writes something in erlang or clojure or rust or something and I'm like... "the problem was complicated enough, why'd you add an esoteric language to it?"
- simongray 3y agoWhy does this even matter to you? You're not forced to use Clojure to use this.
- unrealhoang 3y agoWhy don't you think it's because of the tools those languages provide that helps them with the complicated problem?
- capableweb 3y agoEvery time I see something implemented in a non-lisp language I'm like "the problem was complicated enough, why did you have to introduce a bunch of accidental complexity?!" Then I remember that everyone's brain works differently, and that's ok :)

- cultofmetatron 3y agoif you're writing a distributed language, clojure and erlang both have much better primitives for expressing solutions in that problem space.
