As a clojure programmer myself, it surprises me to see other clojure programmers say this. Error messages are an important part of programming and that you didn't face many errors doesn't mean others won't and doesn't mean they don't know how to program either. Even the article above clearly states that error messages are bad.

Which part do you disagree with? Are you commonly blocked by Clojure errors where you have to stop and spend a material amount of time deciphering them?

Nowhere have I said that if you see an error message you don't know how to program.

I face errors every day, but I don't face errors that are so cryptic that they block my productivity. We agree errors are useful even if we disagree that Clojure's errors are bad.

I did find the errors very confusing when I was getting started, but I think that was because the errors use Clojure terminology that I had not yet learned.

I would assume that you disagree with the article then, in which case I can't make any other point to emphasize that
