Another year of Clojure

This article has a similar pattern like the other "we're trying a new language" articles.<p>Sometimes I do wonder why people decided to use a new language for a critical/important piece of their product while learning on the go as well.

If I am writing an OS, I will still go back to C without an iota of doubt. I need to touch the metal down there.

If you were trying to build the world's next major operating system, would you go with Clojure as one of the core languages, specifically the one that developer-created apps are written in? And could Clojure be fast enough to power the actual OS itself too?<p>With all the new excitement around Clojure, I'm just trying to understand the theoretical and practical limits of the language.

Thought this article had a number of good tips and insights. Much appreciated.
