Reddit appears to be full of bluster, bullshit and rubbish which is why
it is entirely ignorable.
 
Practical experience, i.e. actually using it for real on real projects,
indicates that Clojure is an excellent language and very usable.
Moreover many people (*) building systems are actually working with
Clojure and finding it a huge boon. Also Uncle Bob tells us it is the
final programming language ;-)

The JVM language set is definitely now Java, Scala, Groovy, Clojure.


(*) OK mostly young entrepreneurial types doing start-ups.
