Re:Clj.rs – a Clojure dialect implemented in Rust by munro on Sunday November 08, 2026 @03:33PM (#50416875)
When I was using Clojure, I loved how intelligently the stdlib was design. It felt like one person combed over everything in one sitting to make sure naming was consistent, followed conventions, no two ways to do the same thing, and could be composed together, really beautiful stuff.

I do think no types is why I never reach for it. I just love typing in Rust & TypeScript so much. But at the time of Clojure, those languages didn't exist, JS/Ruby/Python/Java/C++ were all still very popular, and typing made easy hadn't caught on yet. ;)
