Clojure. ;)
2 comments

For quite some time (maybe even still today?), ClojureScript was compiled to JS using the Google Closure Compiler. I felt sympathy for anyone who had to discuss that out loud.
The trick is to call the latter GCC. Much less confusing. ;-)
And now I've got coffee in my sinus. Thanks for that :D
Would have been good to create a pamphlet to inform on the differences. A Clojure/Closure Brochure, if you will
For sure.
Imagine the pain of talking about Clozure Common Lisp.
Lucky we can do "CCL".
You have no idea how many times I typed clojure when I meant to type closure throughout my career. Bizarrely backwards.
