Right, I read your point that readability is as important to a language as other things.

But Rusher isn’t saying “use Clojure because it’s ahead of time as opposed to Rust/Go”. He’s making a point that some (often more niche) languages have built-in features that are better suited to what most of the development work is - debugging - and other languages should look to adopt them.

Not just readability; trade-offs in every conceivable dimension: time efficiency, memory efficiency, developer efficiency, readability, maintainability, correctness, etc, etc...

Adopting the features he values is not free. A toll would be paid along a different axis.
