    Maturing is realizing that java is a good language that gits the job done and has great balance of simplicity, expressiveness and speed, and JVM is a very good ecosystem. The main issue is that it’s owned by Oracle. But I guess it’s better than google atleast.

    I prefer Clojure on the JVM 10/10 tho.

      personally i prefer systems that support basic features like operator overloading, multiple inheritance, and unsigned integers

      Learning clojure in uni for AI (not the kind we call AI now though) was so much fun. I wish I had more reasons for me to have kept up with it.

        Fully viable option today. I make money with it. And was never hired as a “Clojure dev” . We need to do X, I find that clojure is great for X, and start creating.

          C# is just too easy for me now (which is also what I use at work) but maybe one day I’ll have a hobby project I can use as a way to dip my toes back into clojure.
