> I encourage you to look at the state of Clojure and its usability within larger Java ecosystem. Quantity of material, as usual, is not everything.

For what it's worth, I have been a newcomer to both languages the past few years. Clojure has been way more usable than F# and it's not even close.

Clojure is firmly in the quality not quantity category. Good books, novel libraries, a very active slack. Things usually "just work."

F#? Broken type providers, scaffolding that doesn't work past .NET 6.0, a genuine lack of books. Sometimes things work great, they often don't, and the typed nature makes a lot of these things hurt more.
