       | that needle.

         | malli, specter, and calva are all less than ten years old.
         | Clojure has seen a lot of progress in tooling and libraries.

       | I'm noticing a lot of clojure posts recently. Has the language
       | become more popular lately? Is there any reason behind it?

         | But I think it's just general hackernews language waves.
         | Someone posts something, it does well, other people get
         | interested, find things post them and onwards.

         | Not sure on relative popularity. If you haven't already, you
         | should try it! Here's why I like it:                 - Very
         | consistent, easy to keep the whole language in your head
         | - Stable, core rarely changes ("accretive only" mindset).
         | - REPL       - Focus on a handful of data structures which will
         | solve 95% of the problems you face, rather than a deluge of
         | complicated abstractions.       - Excellent concurrency
         | primitives       - Access to Java libraries if a Clojure
         | equivalent doesn't exist       - Macros
         | 
         | The only blemish for me was horrifically bad error messages..
         | other than that it's near perfect.

         | I have suggest a very stable community. Not growing, not
         | shrinking.
