It is very impressive by the standards of relatively unpopular languages. Also the documentation is really good. But if Racket's libraries are immense, what is Ruby's and Rails'? Mega gargantuan?

jbooth, if you try Haskell out you'll be very surprised. It's often true - it's just that it takes a lot more work to get a Haskell program to compile.

I can't wait, thanks for the cheery prediction!

Really? I'd love to hear more about this.

However, it's a good thing you want a DAG, because with immutable data structures you're hosed if you want a cyclic graph. Or at least you won't be building them out of such structures, which means you aren't getting to use Clojure's functions for sequences, collections and maps. Thus Clojure does not seem to be a good tool for graphs.

There's a pretty big network effect.

Let me clarify what smokestack is saying. The weather in the Sunset district is reliably foggy and cool or chilly. Most people don't like it.

EDIT: OK, that was Gliese 581 C. This is the new best hope.
