> you can't also implement with JavaScript, right?
I don't want to sound like a condescending snob, but I honestly wish someone tried to convince me years ago. I myself have spent over a decade dealing with JavaScript (and many other languages as well). Multiple times I had a chance to learn Clojure, but I dismissed every opportunity. I didn't like it. It seemed to me there was nothing "sexy" about it. And one day, I just decided to give it a try (it appeared that I tried many things, and finally I had to try this). The basics I learned pretty quickly. But the more profound philosophy of the language and its ecosystem took me quite some time.
It is incredibly challenging to attempt to explain in a single comment what makes Clojure so much nicer than everything else I have tried before. And I promise you, I did try using lots of different things before that. But please, I urge you to explore it wholeheartedly, and I promise, you will be rewarded. Accept it with all its intrinsic beauty and unavoidable flaws. I guarantee it - you will never regret that.
