LSP client in Clojure in 200 lines of code

This is the most Java-y Clojure I’ve probably ever read. Just use Java? It’s so verbose and complex for what it is doing. Breaking this down into smaller functions and using core.async would make it even more succinct.<p>Just want to emphasize this because clojure is indeed a small, lesser known language that has a hard enough time attracting users. This is not what anyone would consider an idiomatic example of using clojure.

Holy crap is this unreadable or what (notably the lsp-base fn). There&#x27;s a reason why in most Clojure companies I&#x27;ve worked at we try to make as small functions as possible, because otherwise it very very quickly becomes an unreadable mess, and you write code after all for humans to read, because if you didn&#x27;t, you might as well just write binary. But, I&#x27;m not surprised many people don&#x27;t want to get into Clojure or Lisps in general, because it takes a boatload of conventions and active discipline to make it a good experience.
