Re:From Rails to Clojure, Then to Java, Then Back to Rails

Same here. It's really hard for me now at my day job when I have to write OO. Clojure and functional languages opened up my eyes to OO shortcomings I've been trying to work out for over twenty years. Since I started, I've always felt that there were many things not right about OO and developing using these giant frameworks with so many useless abstractions has gotten old and tiring. Most of my time is spent working around the shortcomings of OO nowadays rather than writing actual code for business purposes. Since I started with Clojure, I have little patience for the complex for complexity's sake song and dance of OO. I'm trying to go full time with Clojure. I'm shocked that the author couldn't find Clojure programmers. Must not have offered remote work.

I know. You think I'd be sitting here slinging Java code if there was a shortage of Clojure programmers?
Even in my local area (not a tech hub), I'm aware of one small software shop using Clojure, and they have no trouble finding people.
