This is why I'm really happy with the Clojure community. People in Clojure get that types are useful and important. You don't have the "I don't understand that, so I'm going to call it unimportant" attitude. Instead, you have people using Clojure as a lens to explore and, one hopes, solve the problem-- even when it seems so difficult as to be almost infeasible (such as static typing on a Lisp). Clojure is a dynamically typed, JVM language-- now. (However, ClojureScript is also pretty far along.) It might not always be that way. It will evolve according to the needs of computer science over the next 20+ years. |

That is quite fun. Lisp had experiments with static types for a long long time. Look at things like Qi and there history.
