Fellow South Carolinian and former Charlestonian. I nearly applied to Reify for the same reasons. Clojure is one of my favorite languages. However, I suspect I’d dislike it in a large product / team setting. Having moved from C# to Rails to JavaScript and now to TypeScript, I think I’d miss static types too much.

I’d be very interested in a follow up blogpost after you’ve been at Reify for a year or two.
