Clojure in Product. Would you do it again?
Freshcode
Real-life product stories and insights from top Clojure leaders.We launched this podcast because we're fascinated by a paradox: Clojure is an exceptional language with a powerful philosophy behind it, yet it remains relatively niche in the industry. By talking to teams who've actually implemented Clojure in production, we're trying to understand this disconnect.Is there something fundamental limiting Clojure's adoption, or is it just circumstantial?Through conversations with people, who've taken the leap and built real systems with Clojure, we're exploring whether they would "do it again" — and more importantly, why or why not. We're hoping these real-world stories can help understand Clojure's place in the industry and perhaps shed light on its future potential.Visit our podcast page: freshcodeit.com/podcast
