And if Rich likes Clojure, he can go nuts with it.
But a significant chunk of Hackernews believes that Clojure is the greatest thing since sliced bread, or even the obvious successor/replacement to all other Lisps. As an experienced programmer myself, if someone told me that Clojure is better suited to my application needs than CL or Scheme, I would tell them no, and fuck you. And this is part of why; there are other deficiencies and quibbles I have with Clojure's design.
