The only thing I know about Clojure is Walmart used it to rewrite their entire inventory system.

Great job buddy! Now, if you barely know the topic, what makes you feel like HN gets better to have specifically your point of view in this thread, which seems to lack any knowledge of the subject?

Incredibly, this snide comment actually delivers even less value than the one it was responding to.

We try to avoid condescending put downs here.

With regards to walmarts adventures in clojure:

TIL Walmart Labs was so into clojure. I would really like to know to what degree they still are — does datomic have Walmart as a customer?

I'm guessing that's why we nowadays have Facebook-like comments responding to a title with "I don't actually have any experience with the subject, and never heard about that, wow!" and similar.

Also the biggest digital world bank built on it. Afaik Apple's app store payments system uses it. Cisco's cybersec layer CTIM/CTIA (Cisco Threat Inteligence Model and API) and project IROH (Incident Response Orchestration Hub) built on it. Netflix uses it. NASA has some of it. CircleCI's backend built on it, frontend initially was also Clojurescript. Docker, Metabase, Qlik, Funding Circle, Splash Financial, Rate.com, etc. Tons of Europeans startups using it.
