@stilkov I can't say I love Java, but what are top 5 things you dislike so much about it? I think generics are poor, and Beans are a plague.

@VaughnVernon I guess I'd add verbosity/manifest typing, lack of literals for maps, no closures, no metaprogramming

@stilkov From that it seems like Ruby wins. Add Clojure and maybe Scala. What about Go?

@VaughnVernon I don't know much about Go, but I'd definitely include Python. Clojure is my current favorite.

@stilkov Are you able to use Clojure for client work? If so, do they ask for it or do you have to sell it? Can they hire Clojr talent later?

@VaughnVernon Unfortunately the answers are still no, n/a, and (mostly) no. I'm confident this will change over time though

@stilkov Okay, glad I am not alone in that. It does need to change but uptake seems way slower than C++ or Java ever was. Wonder why.
