Even if we now prefer using HTMX (https://htmx.org) and server-side rendering (Hiccup way of manipulating HTML is just amazing, https://github.com/weavejester/hiccup). - Schema management: Malli (https://github.com/metosin/malli) - Lifecycle management: Mount, Integrant or Component (https://github.com/tolitius/mount https://github.com/weavejester/integrant and https://github.com/stuartsierra/component) - Config management: Aero (https://github.com/juxt/aero) and environ (https://github.com/weavejester/environ) - Log: μ/log (https://github.com/BrunoBonacci/mulog) - Time: https://github.com/juxt/tick - Testing: https://clojure.github.io/clojure/clojure.test-api.html and Kaocha for the runner (https://github.com/lambdaisland/kaocha). - Package and project management: tools.deps is simple and powerful (https://clojure.org/guides/deps_and_cli) For infrastructure stuff (PostgreSQL, Keycloak, Solr, Kafka, etc.), just wrapping the underlying Java library or driver is often enough, and there are lots of wrappers for easing the integration. And we implement Hexagonal architecture style to put all of that in place. Don't be afraid a libraries not moving a lot recently, it's a sign that the library is mature and battle-tested. Clojure is a joy to use every day :)

o: UsersRouter match _ do send_resp(conn, 404, "oops") end end Clojure and `reitit` (https://github.com/metosin/reitit): (def router (r/routes [["/hello" {:get (fn [r] {:status 200 :body "world"})}] ["/users" {:name :users :router users-router}] ["*" {:get (fn [r] {:status 404 :body "oops"})}]])) basically everything in the Elixir case is a macro and non-standard syntax whereas literally of the components of the Clojure case are just standard data types, and yet it manages to be more readable.

acro bubble, etc., as well. Example that shows how an eco system that definitely could have done stuff with macros (Clojure) has correctly decided that writing functions that take data is better than using macros: Elixir and `Plug.Router`: defmodule MyRouter do use Plug.Router plug :match plug :dispatch get "/hello" do send_resp(conn, 200, "world") end forward "/users", to: UsersRouter match _ do send_resp(conn, 404, "oops") end end Clojure and `reitit` (https://github.com/metosin/reitit): (def router (r/routes [["/hello" {:get (fn [r] {:status 200 :body "world"})}] ["/users" {:name :users :router users-router}] ["*" {:get (fn [r] {:status 404 :body "oops"})}]])) P.S. I've used Elixir since 2015, this is not an opinion I've developed at a glance.

n-the-job its not the responsible choice probably for most situations I work in. For my private tinkering the JVM dependency feels just a little too heavyweight. I don't see that Clojure will hit an inflection point of adoption in any way in the future that would make it a viable candidate for me to use at work. I think about programming languages as tools for different bottlenecks. – Computational: Rust – Networking: Go – Business logic: Clojure / Python And for many people Python has everything that Clojure is missing: a very low barrier to enter, and a very stable and well-documented ecosystem of frameworks and libraries.

og about that sometime. What I've found, though, is that trying to use spec like type checking is usually not a great idea. I expect better from static analysis / compile-time checking, with clj-kondo being the most promising tool atm.
