First comments on top threads
HN comment orderClojure is fantastic for its simplicity, and I worked on a Clojure code base full time for 5 years, coming up with ways of translating Java patterns into Clojure. But I've noticed it has not been gaining traction in the job market, and now I feel like that 5 years has been a waste of valuable career building time, which I wish I had spent gaining more experience in (sigh) C# and .NET, so that I could get the more…
I like Clojure quite a bit more than Java, but some of these are unfair if you are comparing against modern Java. For instance, the sorting example can be simplified: Comparator<User> userOrdering = Comparator.comparing(User::isSubscription).thenComparing(User::getName); // forward sort Collections.sort(users, userOrdering); // reverse sort Collections.sort(users, userOrdering.reversed()); A lot less verbose than it's made out to be.
