Thanks for the thoughtful reply. Always interested in your thoughts on software matters.

You know my professional issue with Clojure is that it attracts poseurs. It's that strange spot in PLT that to appreciate it requires sophistication and experience yet barrier to entry (contra say Haskell) is much much lower and does not require the same. So you can get bragging rights without being someone like you who actually understands the cost equations in toto in context of picking languages. This human factor coupled with the technical matter of Clojure not being ideally suited for large scale code / long running / typical IT fubar realities.

You mentioned macros. I can tell you about 'sacred macros' that must not be touched :) Clojure may have addressed software compatibility but it has a human resources compatibility issue.
