"Deep in your innermost being, you’ve always known you were destined to learn Clojure. Every time you held your keyboard aloft, crying out in anguish over an incomprehensible class hierarchy; every time you lay awake at night, disturbing your loved ones with sobs over a mutation-induced heisenbug; every time a race condition caused you to pull out more of your ever-dwindling hair, some secret part of you has known that there has to be a better way."

Should I take the first step?

@micahflee
Coming from an #Haskell background I would have recommended you try #Elm, but:
« When comparing #Elm vs #Clojure, the #Slant community recommends #Clojure for most people. In the question“What is the best #ProgrammingLanguage to learn first?” #Clojure is ranked 11th while #Elm is ranked 16th. »

In the end, may strongly depend on the existence or not of libraries you need to leverage. Good luck ;)

@julm @micahflee Why don't we see essays titled “What is the best programming language to learn twentieth?”?
