I still view the language as a one man hackers sorta thing. I hate setting up a new project with the options I want, not to mention I always seem to be the guy submitting corrections for windows machines (come on ppl, really).

While coding it is awesome, debugging and maint is hell. I'm off to Typescript land after a great two year trip with ClojureScript. It reminded of everything I loved and hated about a dynamic language.




Yes, I am sticking with F# and Typescript. I still love PicoLisp and Shen for my own projects, and as Lisps. Shen runs on everything, and is very versatile, but has minimal libraries and community. I find both very readable months later, but then again I also love the J Programming language! Clojure/Clojurescript are too convoluted with their purposeful tie-ins to the JVM/JavaScript. Cleaner Lisps, Common Lisp, are easier for me to deal with later on when reviewing code I've written, although, I have not written anything medium to large.


For debugging I use the debugger that comes with CIDER. It is the simplest debugger I've ever used, on par with edebug.

Honestly wondering: what do you wish for in clj debugging?
