I'm interested in the long piecewise elimination section. Presumably that's where they explain why not use Ocaml/Nim/yaddah yaddah.

If I were to write such a list, the answer would probably come down to "because I wanted to pick ONE and be able to stick with it, and Rust seems solid and not going anywhere." As much as Clojure and Ocaml are, from what I've heard, right up my alley, learning all these different languages has definitely taken time away from getting crap done, like I used to be able to do perfectly well with Java 2 or PHP 5, even though those are horrible languages.
