[invalidOrTaken]

I can understand some reluctance. My current position has suffered a lot of churn as devs ran away from clojure. My boss was very glad I showed up when I did.

It does require a different way of thinking. I was lucky in that I had very little experience, academic or professional, when I picked it up. I had a lot less to unlearn.

But that doesn't mean it's limited to ultra-brainy lisp weenies. We have undergrads writing clojure, never having written clojure before, in their first programming job. They do just fine.
