TornadoFlame··on Choice paralysis between CL and Clojure
Thank you, now it's worse than before!

No really, i get your points (through you other answers too).

I decided to just dive into CL, if you have some valuable resource, i would like to know!

TornadoFlame··on Choice paralysis between CL and Clojure
Hi there, thanks for your answer!

> Disclaimer: I use both at work and prefer clojure.

Could you please elaborate? Just want to know how you use both at work! (i just can't really think of a 2021 scenario for CL, legacy code aside)

> I'm not sure what you mean.

Nothing at all, it was a typo. Swap SLIME with 'cl-lib, what i wanted to say what i wanted to say is that common lisp seems to have a certain level of compatibility in Emacs itself through this package, whether it is also feasible with Clojure, i ignore it

> I don't get the JVM hate. Sure, every platform has its issues, but the JVM is a highly tuned virtual machine that has decades of development behind it. It is cross platform. It is used for high performance projects as well. It has libraries for everything.

No no! It wasn't hate, i just stumble upon this article [1] and thought that the level of interactivity between CL and Clojure was clearly in favor of the former.

Sorry if I'm talking rubbish,I discovered the LISP ecosystem less than a week ago, CL and Clojure were just names before, all these dialects with all those implementations are confusing, because i don't have a clear overview!

Thank you again :)
