>Clojure is nice, but the idea that it is somehow built for the real world where Haskell isn't is just patent nonsense that I wish people wouldn't repeat.

Really? Because SPJ, for one seems to agree with it.



Coldtea, could you provide a link where SPJ says this ? I googled it but couldn't find anything.


I think he may be talking about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSmkqocn0oQ


Yes. Plus the cheeky "avoid success at all costs" remarks etc. Of course he doesn't mean it's not usable (or used already) in the real world at all.

Just that it's not in the perfect practical form that a real world language would have.
