Re:Clojure at Netflix (2013) [slides] by Naomarik on Wednesday October 31, 2018 @12:10PM (#18346926)
My feeling (and personal experience) is that the state Clojure is in now is so solid there's not a lot to talk about. Every time I take a peek at the JS ecosystem there's a new flavor or build tool.

I've been making a living using Clojure for a few years now as a solo dev and I don't feel the language is lacking in anything I would care much about. I started with reagent not knowing anything about react or having any Clojure experience and was immediately productive. I was able to augment part of a webapp I had in production in no time due instant feedback loops from the REPL and figwheel. The language is being iterated on but it has already been in such a state in that I'm not keeping up with what's new because I'm able to solve any problem I need to already.

I'm extremely happy with it. I have a lot of interests other than programming and I feel that Clojure allows me to deliver complex projects on time without driving me insane or having to keep up with new trends.
