I'm surprised at the industry adoption of Clojure. I'm not a Lispy, dynamic typing guy, but like the anti-OO stance that Rich and Clojure represents.
I wouldn't be surprised if Clojure has more "industry" adoption than Scala at this point.
Give me Clojure semantics (anti-OO, maps, vectors, and seqs) with some optional typing and a Python syntax then I'm there *
* that's just my preference, no need to convince me of anything other.
https://github.com/clojure/core.typed has your optional typing. No suggestions for python syntax besides macros. Lots and lots of macros. :)
