> [Clojure] is really optimized for [\snip] data centric stuff
Not sure what this means. Stu Halloway made a comment to the effect of "all programming is ultimately data transformations". Honest question here, what programming language is NOT for data-centric stuff?
I find that when I'm working in verbose programming languages: Java, C#, it doesn't feel like all programming is data transformations, when in reality it is.
With data I mean information, knowledge representation etc.
Not real time video games and other graphics intensive stuff. Not device drivers, embedded and hardware specific stuff. Not bits/bytes level of programming…
There are more, but you get the gist.
Clojure is fantastic for business applications, DSLs, information processing, web development and so on.
The application space is huge, but it’s not meant for everything.
