      I’m afraid something similar is going to happen at my place of work. A lot of the top brass that was pro functional languages left during our rounds of layoffs, so I’m concerned that the ones that are left are going to decide that Java is better (easier to hire for).

        I was hired as part of the people to migrate away from it lol. I don’t like it but that’s mostly because I don’t know Clojure well and the syntax is different enough to make it confusing to follow. I’ve tried to learn it but haven’t dedicated the time to give it a proper shot.
