Hi, my name is Ion Simion, i’m from Romania, mostly developed backend with PHP, recently discovered Clojure and I can say is quite different, done some functional programming with Javascript and used all kind of libraries like Immutable.js, Ramda etc but I knew there must be something else, something better, so I arrived here.

Hi, I'm William. I've been programming in London (UK) for about 20 years (mostly Java at work and, recently Kotlin at home). I've been reading Yehonathan Sharvit's book on data-oriented programming and it made me curious about Clojure. I used to play with Haskell a lot, and although I really enjoyed it, I never felt that I could be productive with it. It's too soon to come to any conclusions, but I get the feeling that with Clojure maybe I can have the best of both worlds - write clean functional code AND actually get things done.
