and the interest in the clojure workshops has been good, so I’d imagine there’s a bunch of people who’d be keen to work with the language

how many companies using clojure in mek?

rui.yang12:09:39

we have new services to build. but the team prefer scala, because of the static type.

rui.yang12:09:16

hard to convince without solid examples

i also wonder, with dynamic type, how does the maintaince look like after the project grows over 3 or 4 years.

I've never understood the maintenance argument when it comes to dynamically typed languages. Any application of reasonable size should have a decent amount of tests and in a dynamically typed language you might just need a few more to verify the same thing. But I've never seen a project still be nice to work on after 3-4 years, dynamically or statically typed, they're always horrible.

And if you want to see a Clojure code base after 6 years of development here is a good example - https://github.com/ato/clojars-web
