cfleming: what's a bad problem for clojure that is a good problem for Go

roberto01:07:57

I think systems programming is better suite for Go than clojure.

roberto01:07:21

example: things like docker

roberto: what's a bad problem for Go that has a good solution in Clojure

roberto01:07:19

systems programming

roberto01:07:34

an operating system

roberto01:07:32

i think there is something that compiles clojure to Go somewhere in github.

@lewix: Anything that cares about startup time, systems programming as roberto mentions, anything requiring lightweight threads

cfleming02:07:02

Possibly anything requiring a large team, although that might be controversial.

lewix02:07:21

cfleming: why a 'large team'

cfleming02:07:56

Again controversial, but I think that static types help understanding code you’re not familiar with.

lewix: anything where startup time is a concern for any reason
