Clojure is a gateway drug into Common Lisp, but first it weeds out the retards.

By that I mean the retards stick with Clojure, just like pulp sticks in the strainer. Eventually the pulp gets discarded into the trash (your transpiled to JavaScript shitlang of choice).

>>5 That's what they want you do think. That's false. Clojure is the gateway drug to java: once you'll run into performance problems(and clojure is slow, so it'll be very soon) you'll have to resort to write Java code. And that's terrible.

Why would anybody use clojure when kawa scheme compiles to jvm and it's pretty fucking easy use java classes in kawa.
>>16 I tried Clojure with Ring and it took 300mb of ram to display a "hello word" that also took about 2 minutes to load. I tried CL and most of the libraries were written in SVN. Some of the maintainers were dead. I'm going to try Arc next.
Honestly, I like Lisp enough that I might just write my http stack. I'm tired of working on PHP and Python.

>>18 Use a lisp with more than one person who cares about it, like Chicken Scheme or Racket. CL also has a number of living people still using it seriously. Clojure needs a setup with with Lichtenstein or whatever it's called, which gives you a proper REPL.
