This guy is insane, everything he writes is a lame rant about how life sucks since the demise of Symbolics.

However, I will have to say that I was initially excited about Clojure and each day become more disappointed because it really does carry with it all the baggage of Java. I had vowed to avoid CLASSPATH hell the rest of my programming days and Clojure often makes me feel like I'm lying to myself.

I'm also disappointed by Python. It doesn't make using windows any more tolerable than before.

But maybe I'm being unfair, expecting my programming language to solve the problems of my operating system.

Yeah, you're being unfair, especially if you've used both Python and Java and consider them equivalent in terms of laborious configuration details. When I say CLASSPATH hell I mean the whole configuration mess that is maintaining a java environment. If you have any tips on making this not suck in Clojure it would be great to hear them, otherwise I am switching back to Python.
