Being an almost 20y old JVM language, you'd expect it to already have been rewritten in itself. IT FUCKING WASN'T.

But, "hey, it's a hosted…", stop fooling yourself, its "sneaking in work" capability has such bottlenecks that SCI was created.

You'd think its stack traces would be better than Java's, after all, it was supposed to be an improvement… They're worse.

Oh, "we've got a REPL". The amount of alternative REPLs available for it shows how bad the default one is.

There's more, but the gist of it is that none of the above is truly the culprit of its shitty language adoption rates.

It's its implementation code.

Have you taken a peak at Clojure's implementation code??

Last edit was in 2012.

Not because of stability, but because the fucking thing is a tightly coupled monolithic mess.

It's such fucking outdated messy Java that any change by none other than Rich Rickey (creator) would BREAK THE FUCKING THING

That's it, I'm done ranting

Fuck Clojure
fuck its implementation
there's no fixing it

Unless they do it Elm style and risk nailing Clojure's coffin shut

Also, on ClojureScript, WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU TAKE THE SHIT ABOVE AND WRITE A COMPILER WITH IT? Targeting none other than another shitty language: JavaScript
