To be fair, this is not unique to Clojure. You need to deal with stack traces no matter what as long as you're using any programming language that targets the JVM (even statically type-checked languages like Scala). There are some grea

Thanks to the dynamic nature of Clojure programs, experienced Clojure developers use the REPL-driven development workflow as demonstrated in this video [1]. [1] https://youtu.be/gIoadGfm5T8

I cannot answer your question. Since you love Python, I guess you don't have any problem with dynamic type-checking. You also mentioned Scheme, I take that as you don't mind parentheses either. :) If you would like to try somethin

I think what @iLemming meant is that she/he doesn’t understand the appeal of having a fancy REPL _UI_ (mostly virtual terminal emulator-based readline implementations) and working with it _directly_ as opposed to sending forms from you

As a regular user and promoter of REPL.it, I like it very much and therefore submitted two PR’s [1][2] after seeing a blog post about how to contribute to it [3]. Unfortunately, those PR’s have been lingering up there for the past 4 months

It seems to me what you’re struggling with is functional programming (the paradigm) instead of Clojure (the language or grammar) itself. This is pretty common for people who are used to the C-like languages. I strongly recommend reading “Cl

I was passively introduced to Clojure when I joined my current team at my current company a few years ago. After spending 5 years in a humongous, horribly-maintained Java code base, and a short period of time with a new-ish Scala code base
