Why I Switched from Python to Clojure (2016)

I'd argue that the JVM is a good move from python. There are a number of rich frame works on the JVM with great tooling. Also if you use PyCharm switching IDEs is easy with Intellij. I switched from python -> F# -> Kotlin.

I do agree the language is part of the battle. The other is tooling, and libraries. F#/dotnet was painful as a linux dev. The JVM works on almost any platform with great tooling.

For Libraries. I haven't found anything akin to django admin, but I don't really miss it. For me

SQLAlchemy -> Jooq

Flask -> Spark/Vertx

I like writing Kotlin, but I feel like I'm still struggling with the "functional" side it. I think I just like writing java too much.

was F# painful pre-dotnet core? Have you tried it since? I ran into issues with F# and Mono a few years back and haven't tried since core came out.
