The Clojure, and ClojureScript, hype train is effective. I've been interested in learning Clojure for several years. Every other week, or so, I'll see a tweet or blog post that makes me want to drop JavaScript and move over to ClojureScript. The community looks like a great one to be part of, from an outsider's perspective. With that said, I've never been able to break beyond that learning curve, or have that "ah hah!" moment. I've been able to learn a lot of different languages over the years, and I so want Clojure to be one of them but it just hasn't happened for me, yet. This blog post puts my issue into words very well, it feels like I'm trying to program in mandarin and I struggle to be efficient at what seem like the most basic of tasks. A script that I could knock out in 20 minutes, with C# or JavaScript, will take me hours or days in Clojure because of the lack of muscle memory or something. My excitement always fades back into thoughts of "meh is it really worth the effort", at which point I usually just revert back to JS. :(
